A unique 30 kmA artificially created island, completed in 1914 as part of the city’s extensive fortifications. Until Dubai and the Japanese went crazy with this type of construction, it was the largest offshore artificial island in the world. The island was sold to a private company in 2001, but since it is a protected area the new owners must ensure public access to the island. This is handled by Spar Shipping’s] three to five daily departures during the summer months (120 Kr 30 minutes). The sailing is done via a charming old ferry MS LangA from the pier just south of the Nyhavn area, but the island’s marina is also open for private yachts. The new owners maintain hostel-like accommodations on the island in the fortress’ old soldiers quarters, which can be rented for 800 Kr per room with eight bunk beads. There is also a restaurant with traditional Danish lunch and dinners from 80 Kr and a kiosk. The owners arrange various activities like treasure hunts, tours and team building activities taking advantage of the old fortress and its history, but this requires larger groups.
