Copenhagenґs
skyline

Runde Tеrn (round tower) from 1642.
Actually part of a church, this is Copenhagenґs premier observation point.
There is no elevator, you have to walk upwards through a spiral walkway to get
to the outdoor observation point at the top. The entrance is just 20 DKR. Though
just 42 m and 9 stories, Runde tеrn offers an incredible view over the
city and its surroundings. Note the bohemic hovedbibliotek (municipal library)
to the right.

Towards Skt Andreas Kirke and the TV Tower. The botanical garden is to the
right of it.



It is easy to miss, but my girlfriend discovered that also the fence is beautiful,
especially since you can see the roofgardens through it. Central Copenhagen at
dark and day.

View towards the Avedшre Powerplant(90m) from the Fields mall.

Below: Views from Vor Frelsers Kirke (Church of Our Saviour). At the
Skyscrapercity
meeting in summer 2006 I climbed this 89m tall building together with the young
fellows of the forum.

The Freetown Christiania.

After getting to the top, the climbing continued on the spiral roof on spiral
stairs on the exterior of the building! Nothing to do if you are afraid of heights!

It was like a stairway to heaven!

Looking down to the church.

The end of the stairway to heaven. The closer you get to the top, the more narrow
the stairway turns.

Looking up Vor Frelsers Kirke towards the top that we climbed.

This is the view from a bridge at Osterbro.
