Here is another breathing pulse of Copenhagen. Ørstedsparken is a nice park located centrally in Copenhagen.

But what is interesting and odd about this place is its history. Because this used to be a hook up place for homosexuals.

They would go to the park and make love to like minded in the bushes of the park. After many years of general social acceptance of homosexuality in Denmark this is ofc not happening anymore, but its strange to think of a time where people had to go these length to find love or (what not) in this park.

Today you find families and coffee dates all over the park and the only real history you'll find here today are the many beautiful bronze statues.
