Apparently I lucked out and this was the first sunny week all year.</p> <p>My phone showed  a large green area , labeled “Kalvebod Fælled&quot; criss-crossed with car-free paths (thanks, Google maps bike layer) between the city and the airport. But what is it?</p> <p>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalvebod_F%C3%A6lled">Wikipedia</a>: ”[Kalvebod Fælled] consists of reclaimed sea bed, with a number of former islets making up small isolated hills; it was dammed and drained during the 1940s to serve as an artillery training range. […] Most of the area, however, lies as lightly maintained parkland featuring a range of nature types, from young forests to tidal marshes […] After years of preparation the area was finally cleared of unexploded munitions and fully opened to the general public on October 15, 2010.“</p>
