Hi friends!
We thought it to be time for another activity outdoors.
Although this comes slightly last minute, we hope that some of you would have time and will join in.
WHEN: Saturday, July 16
WHAT: Visiting Sophienholm (Nybrovej 401, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby)
HOW: By bike
TIME: 14:30 - approx.17:30
Meeting Point: Nørrebro Station, the open space/square between the station and Føtex at 14:30 sharp.
The Plan: To see this nice setting of an old beautiful building very nicely located at Bagsværd Lake. After biking for 45-60 min., we will relax on the grass lawn overlooking Bagsværd Lake, walk around the gardens, have a drink in the cafeteria etc. Depending on what the participants decide, we could visit the exhibition. Also depending on the mood, we could go around Bagsværd Lake on the way home.
We will leave it up to the participants to decide whether we do something afterwards, like crashing someone's place, etc... :-)
Please let us know ASAP and latest by Friday, July 15, if you are taking part.

Inside:

The current exhibition is "A Place in the Sun" - women artists born 1850 - 1950. Entrance fee: 60DKK per person (50DKK for students).
Outside:
Sophienholm contains gardens that are unique to Danish landscape gardening tradition. From the beginning it was formed in a thoroughly romantic garden landscape style by Ramée and enriched by some of the following owners.
