Welcome to North of Copenhagen

Along the northern city limits of Copenhagen runs a patch of rich forest land and marvelous coastal line. Despite its close proximity to the city, Copenhagen North is a glaring contrast to the pulse of the city.

Værløse Air Base

If you’re after a slightly different outdoor experience, you should definitely investigate the unique natural landscape of the former Royal Danish Air Force Base at Værløse. 20 kms northwest of Copenhagen, this is where history and nature collide in very unusual accommodation.

Furesøbadet

Furesø, Denmark’s deepest lake, lies just 20 kms north west of Copenhagen. It has rapidly become a hotspot for outdoor swimming, one of the most popular in the country.
