BED DOWN IN THE DOCKS
Take a morning dip metres from the
Copenhagen Opera House, watching the sun peep
above the city’s skyline. A cross between a hotel
and a houseboat, Kaj Hotel’s two-person property
made from reclaimed materials can be found in
water-bound neighbourhood Holmen, which was
once used as a Royal Naval Base. Laze around in
blanket robes or use kayaks to explore further
afield. From 2,500kr/£ 280 per night. kajhotel.dkROCK CLIMB
ON COPENHILL
There’s barely any elevation in pancake-flat
Denmark, but this artificial concrete mountain
is an exception. A collection of colourful overhangs
run up the 280-foot wall of this waterfront
power plant, creating complex routes designed
for experienced and trained climbers.

A FLOATING PONTOON
Proving you don’t always need dry ground for
a successful camping trip, The Floating Shelter
— a wooden cabin set on a raft — is anchored in
the harbour. Sunrays beam onto an outdoor deck
during the day, providing enough energy to power
lamps long into the night. It’s not accessible by land,
so you’ll need to make your own way over by boat.
From 60 0kr (£67) per night. detflydendeshelter.comLITTER-PICK WHILE
YOU PADDLE
It’s free to borrow a kayak from the Green Kayak,
which has several outposts across the city. The only
condition is that you bring back a bucket of rubbish.
On a mission to keep the city’s canals clean, the
company has collected more than 60 tons of waste
across their sites in Ireland, Germany, Denmark,
Norway and Sweden since 201 7. Use litter pickers to
remove unwanted debris and enjoy a pleasurable
paddle at the same time. greenkayak.org17
