The 7. February 2026 a new 2 weeks period of cold weather from arctic arrived to all Denmark with 5-20 cm snow, minus 1-17 degrees and windy. It was the second extreme cold winter weather all over Denmark since new year 2026.

Sunday morning the 15. February I visited my sister Marianne, who lives with her husbond in a flat with a splendid view directly to Copenhagen Inner Harbour.

At midday I decided to go for a walk through Copenhagen Inner Harbour,  walk- and bike slide bridge “Inner Harbour” connecting Christianshavn with Nyhavn Harbour and through Nyhavn to Amalienborg Castle.

Here is my  photo story, PART 1 A this beautiful wintery with snow, ice, blue sky and sun shine:

I start my walk in Toldbodgade at red storehouse built 1780 directly close to the water in Copenhagen Inner Harbour.
