Amager Fælled Nature Park Trail

The Amager Fælled Nature Park Trail is an easy loop of about 6 km through the open meadow and wet woodland of Amager Fælled, a large green space close to the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark. The area lies on the island of Amager near Englandsvej, 2300 København S, and offers views toward the Ørestad skyline. The simplest approach is metro line M2 to Sundby or Lergravsparken, about 10 minutes from Copenhagen Central Station; a ticket costs from about DKK 24 (about USD 4). Entry is free and no permit is needed. The terrain is flat, with elevation between 0 and 5 m above sea level, so the difficulty comes only from the distance and the ground conditions. Paths are gravel and dirt tracks, and wet sections can be muddy after rain, so sturdy shoes are important. Much of the route is open and unshaded, though patches of wet woodland give cover, and the area is exposed to wind. Walkers will see bird life, grazing animals and a mix of reed, meadow and trees, with the modern towers of Ørestad rising beyond the fields. There are no strict landmarks beyond the changes of habitat, so walkers typically choose a loop and can turn around or cut back toward the metro at several paths. Water and food are not available inside the area, so it is best to bring supplies and use cafes near the metro stations. There are no huts or formal shelters. The walk takes about 2 hours, and early morning or evening is the best time for wildlife. Visitors should stay on tracks, as parts of the area are sensitive nature habitat.
