Timeline
05:21
Arrive at Kongelunden early. The path of love (Kærlighedsstien) is quiet before the crowds arrive, and the open plains are perfect for watching the sky change color.
06:06
Watch the sun rise over the water. In mid-April, the light turns golden quickly, casting long shadows across the grass where the sheep graze.
06:36
Stay a few minutes longer as the golden light settles. The atmosphere is calm and romantic, a perfect end to the early start.
Local tip
Since there are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity for this specific early hour, bring a thermos of coffee or a packed breakfast to enjoy while you wait for the sunrise.
Check before you go
- Check the weather forecast for clear skies to see the sunrise.
- Dress warmly as mornings in April can still be chilly near the water.
- If you plan to eat after, check opening hours for cafes in Dragør as they may not open until later in the morning.
