Platform C - Syddyssen

 

This oak bench and viewing point by the design studio Fokstrot was completed in January 2020 and is. in part, a rethinking of the Copenhagen circular bench but here people face inwards rather than looking out as a place for conversation although there are also good views down the water to Kaninøen - a triangular island that was part of the outer defences of the city - or across the water, and back towards the city and to Christianshavns Vold, with the distinct twisted spire of Vor Frelsers Kirke or Church of Our Saviour.

The platform is less than 100 metres from the heavy traffic of Torvegade - the road down through Christianshavn from Knippelsbro to get over to Amager - but this could be a different world.
Walking from Christianshavn, at the end of the causeway over the water, Syddyssen is to the left, just before Christmas Møllers Plads, and is the footpath along the inner edge of the low outer embankment of the defences.
