Ces cinq lacs qui entourent le Nord de Copenhague,formaient auparavant un bras de mer entouré de prairie à l’extérieur de la ville.Il fut endigué au fur et à mesure de l’expansion de la ville,puis il prit sa forme actuelle au 16ème siècle,lors des modifications des fortifications qui nécessitaient de remplir les douves d’eau. Très longtemps ils ont servi de réservoirs pour la consommation d’eau de la ville.On a donc canalisé les eaux progressivement. C’est en 1929 qu’est aménagée la balade sur son pourtour. Lieu de vie de poissons et d’oiseaux,c’est un lieu privilégié des copenhagois pour se balader,courir,ou flâner....compter 6,35km pour parcourir la boucle complète.La baignade n’est pas possible,mais on peut y faire du pédalo,dans un "bâteau/cygne"....

Muy lindo para salir a correr o andar en bicicleta, hasta es útil para evitar semáforos

I had long ago thought how it would be on this most beautiful running route, almost seven km long, flat and easy, among historical buildings, lovely birds, and a dreamy atmosphere, like in a fairy tale from Hans Christian Andersen's books. There are three old lakes divided into five rectangular parts, and it is a dream to run in this place with a stunning view of lakes, bicycles, old bridges, and a unique vibe. During my small trip, I learned that the lakes have something that makes you come back. ❤️❤️❤️
