Itinerary description

This is a walk around the lake and bog that I extended to include Mariebjerg Kirkegard. The cemetery has magnificent lines of trees and mixes order with some areas of more 'natural' appearance.

A consequence of this merge of two locations is that there is a section of walking between the bog and the cemetery that uses the streets, passing Ikea and numerous other stores and offices.

You can, of course, just lop off this extension, or perhaps add in Bernstorff's park that is only just to the north east of the lake. Bernstorff's Park is also a Copenhagen Green location.

Gentofte station is half way between the lake and the park, so it would be easy to look at both of these at the same time.


Note: Copenhagen is the European Green Capital 2014. Copenhagen Green is a guide to 100 green locations in greater Copenhagen. It is a great source for things to see and do in Copenhagen. See www.copenhagengreen.dk for all the information on the locations. There is a large format book, small guide books and also an ebook that contains information for all the locations.
