Conference guests will be presented with the opportunity to witness first-hand some of the excellent work being done by KIMO member, the City of Aalborg by taking part in one of the following technical visits:
Visit 1: Aalborg New Harbourfront
Guided tour by ship along the new Harbourfront. Aalborg’s waterfront has recently undergone a thorough renovation. It was once Aalborg’s industrial heart, but its shipyards and heavy industries had mostly died out by the 1980s. Thus began the waterfront’s transformation into a cultural and cozy quarter.
Tour guide: Peder Baltzer, City architect, City of Aalborg
Visit 2: Vestre Fjordpark and Egholm
Guided tour by bicycle to Vestre Fjordpark and the ecological island Egholm. Vestre Fjordpark is an open-air swimmingpool and activity center offering outdoor activities such as to sail the Limfjord by kayak or canoe, windsurf, bathe, or simply enjoy the lovely nature. Egholm is the largest ecological island in Denmark providing 100% organic farming.
