A superb little burger bar that serves beer! You're higher than the taxiway in front of you so shooting anything that passes is easy. It's nearly back lit all day but on long summer days it is excellent from around four a clock and until sunset. It takes around 30 minutes to walk from the terminal area, go past the domestic terminal (Terminal 1) and when you reach Gate Gourmet, turn left and it just straight ahead. Opens at 10.30 and closes around ten in the evening (during the summer anyway). | ||

To get here follow directions to Flyvergrillen (as described above) - instead of going to the dead of the road end, where Flyvergrillen is located, follow the round as it turns right. Continue on this road until you reach the junction - turn right and you will see the runway across the road (which is in a tunnel). If you go under and through the tunnel some very nice shots can obtained. In the late afternoon go back to the other side of the tunnel. | ||
