The Harbour Bath
The Harbor Bath is designed by the famous Danish architect Bjarke Ingels Group BIG. The triangular floating complex comprises a rectangular 50-metre-long swimming pool, a circular diving pool, square children’s pools and two saunas.
Take a walk on the elevated plank walkway, which doubles as a viewing platform overlooking the pools and water beyond.
Beach volley and bars
The Harbor Bath is a spot full of activities, not just for swimmers. Along the sea front, beach volley courts, bars and cafés will emerge over time. In the long run, future plans also involve a theatre, hotel, restaurants, shops and bathing huts.
Designed by one of Denmark's greatest architects
