Vestamager

Where do you get your inspiration when you are going for a walk?
I found myself without any idea the other day. I had one glorious one in mind but it was far to late for train and ferry.
By a process of elimination, I chose the train towards Copenhagen and soon I found myself on Kalvebod Fælled on Vestamager, a place I have visit before.
But this time I decided I wasn’t going to walk these endless paths.
From the last time I knew there would be bikes for rent. Though I didn’t know how good the bikes were.
Now I’ve tried one and it was really great. I had an extraordinary ride with twinkling lights a blinking sea and wide open spaces where horses were grazing and birds foraging.
A group of children were swimming, and people went surfing further down the beach. A sailboat had crashed under one of the recent storms. A guy checked with the police who already knew about the ship.
I was so happy for the sun and the long bike ride that I forgot about the deadline for submission of the bike. It became a bit of rush at the end.
It is highly recommended. Not the rush but the bike ride!

Jeg elsker, når krudt kugler og byggeaffald bliver forvandlet til et stort naturreservat, med masser af frisk luft, græs, vand, træer og søer.

Jeg har været på en hyggelig tur på Kalvebod Fælled, på Vestamager. Det er nu, I kan opleve store fugleflokke, som hviler og fouragerer inden deres tur fortsætter sydover. Viber, store rovfugle, en tårnfalk og en stor flok Canadagæs, det var min oplevelse bare på et par timer.

På vej tilbage til metroen ved Station Vestamager kiggede jeg forbi Naturcenter Vestamager, der ligger i udkanten af Kalvebod Fælled. Her kan I få lidt at spise, og lige så vigtigt, her kan I leje cykler og meget andet. Se priser her!

Næste gang jeg besøger Vestamager, vil jeg leje en cykel her. Vejstrækningerne er lange, og lige. Det bliver for kedeligt og det er synd, for der er meget at opleve, det tager bare for lang tid at komme rundt.
