BodyCam – Ørstedsparken, Copenhagen. A morning walk through the park along the old city defenses.

Ørstedsparken is a public park in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The park is - like Tivoli , the Botanical Garden and Østre Anlæg - laid out on part of Copenhagen's old ramparts , as it includes the area from Ahlefeldts Bastion to Helmers Bastion. Between these was Hahns Bastion, where in 1876 a monument was erected with a statue of HC Ørsted.

The moat and the ramparts have been partially preserved, but as the connection to the rest of the rampart has been cut off, the moat is now an elongated lake with a depth of approx. 4 m. In order to improve the water quality, an underground connection to Peblinge Lake was created in 1994, so that the water can be made to circulate between the two lakes.

There is an iron bridge over the lake. This bridge previously led over the "gap" or hole in Copenhagen's ramparts that the demolition of Nørreport in 1857 led to. The bridge was used by King Frederik VII when he made a horseback ride around the city. In 1873 , the bridge was demolished and rebuilt at its current location. It is made as a wrought iron lattice and is probably Denmark's oldest bridge of this type.
