Accessibility cooperation

The Amarminoen is approximately a 27 km long hiking trail that connects DR Byen with Dragør and takes you through some of the most varied and nature-rich landscapes on Amager. The Accessible Amarminoen follows the route of the Amarminoen, except for three wheelchair-friendly detours at Havneslusen, Kongelunden, and Dragør Sydstrand.

How to get to and from the trail

The route starts at DR Byen (metro right at the door) and ends in Dragør, from where there are good bus connections back to the city. There are also good parking options at both the start (DR Byen/Ørestad) and the end (Dragør harbor and town center) if you arrive by car. It is recommended to park in Dragør, where there is no parking fee.
