Karens Minde

Karens Minde is a public waterfront corridor in Copenhagen's South Harbor spanning roughly 600 meters. The space includes paved pathways, a wooden pedestrian bridge, and distinctive yellow tiled surfaces that serve as drainage features while creating visual continuity throughout the area.

The South Harbor district grew as a residential area in the early 1900s, marked by distinctive yellow brick buildings that define the neighborhood's character. This neighborhood foundation shaped the planning of this modern public space.

This space brings neighbors together as a meeting point where people naturally gather throughout the day. The open layout invites residents to spend time outdoors and connect with others in their community.

Access is open and the area is easy to walk through on flat pathways suitable for all visitors. The space works well for strolling and outdoor activities, especially when the weather is dry.

Adjacent to the main area is a Children's Animal Field housing sheep, horses, and rabbits that visitors can interact with. Many people overlook this quiet corner, yet it offers a rare chance to spend time with farm animals in an urban setting.
