Copenhagen harbor runs 3 bathing facilities – 2 in the central areas and a new artificial beach in the north part. The facilities are extremely popular among the Copenhageners and tourists are amazed that harbor water can hold a quality which is safe for bathing. One of the cornerstones is the DHI bathing water quality forecast.
