About
クイックファクト: Crunchy gravel paths and the tang of salt air lead you along grassy bastions where old cannons sit quietly, giving unexpectedly peaceful city views. A star-shaped layout invites wandering across earthworks, while a daily changing of the guard and a resident flock of mute swans add theatrical local charm.
ハイライト: A perfectly star-shaped fortress with five grass-covered bastions and a water-filled moat invites you to walk its ramparts, where angled earthworks and cannon embrasures still read like a 17th-century map. Climb the northern rampart to hear a wooden windmill from 1847 creak on its axle, smell warm timber and cut grass, and watch locals time a casual loop at about 20 minutes while feeding the ducks.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes, ramparts are gravel and can be slippery after rain.
- Best photos come from the northern rampart by the old windmill and from the southern path facing the Little Mermaid.
- Avoid weekend midday by visiting early or late afternoon when locals use the park and crowds thin.
- Bring a light jacket, harbour winds make the ramparts feel colder than the city.
