The story
Perched atop a former landfill, Copenhill rewrites the rules of urban recreation. This Copenhagen landmark is actually a working waste-to-energy power plant, yet it doubles as the city’s highest point. Visitors can ski down its artificial slope, scale Europe’s tallest climbing wall, and take in a panoramic view that stretches across the entire capital. As creator Doobydobap noted, “it’s amazing that a landfill has become a tourist destination,” capturing the surreal transformation of industrial infrastructure into a public playground.
While not a restaurant, Copenhill offers a fresh take on a day out—part engineering marvel, part extreme sports hub. The rooftop vista is the real draw, especially for those seeking a perspective on Copenhagen’s skyline without leaving the city. Whether you come for the slopes or just the scenery, this is a place that redefines what a “venue” can be, blending sustainability with urban adventure in a way that feels distinctly Danish.

Copenhill is the highest point in Copenhagen, built as a power plant that turns waste into energy, with a ski slope, the largest climbing wall in Europe, and a beautiful view of the entire city from the top — it's amazing that a landfill has become a tourist destination.
