Helle Lehrmann Madsen

We asked our teachers if they could recommend a place in or outside of Copenhagen. Here you can see what Helle recommends.

What do you like most about Copenhagen?
"I really love Copenhagen’s harbour. Especially in the summer, when you can go for an early morning swim before all the other harbour traffic starts. Or you can rent a GoBoat on a beautiful afternoon and take a small trip through the canals with your friends or family.  
I was a member of Copenhagen’s rowing club for 10 years, and the very best trips were the ones where we rowed out at 7 am on a calm morning and watched the city wake up."

Can you recommend a place outside of Copenhagen that’s easy to get to?
"I recently discovered a cosy little village outside of Copenhagen called Pederstrup. You can bring your bike on the S-train to Ballerup and from there, cycle along a nice bike path by the tracks for 10 minutes – then you arrive in Pederstrup.  
There’s a village pond and old, thatched houses – and a café where you can buy ice cream, cake, and other nice treats. It’s a really lovely day trip. I discovered it because I was offered a plot in a community garden in Pederstrup – so now I have my very first garden!"
