I'm wondering if you can see the Middelgrunden wind power farm when flying into Copenhagen airport?

If possible, does anyone have any pictures? From which side of the aircraft?


This website indicates that it is 2km east of Copenhagen port. How visible is it from land?

Are there other wind farms you can see from flying in? Would be flying in from the West presumably - Seattle, USA.

Not sure if its the one you refer to but there is one on the edge of the strait (ie in the water) just off the village by the airport. If landing from direction of Sweden it is on the right hand side of a/c, left hand side for take off in that direction. Better view from the village though (10 minute walk from airport - turn right and cross the bridge over motorway).

Yes, you can see them while landing and taking off. The view is so short though. There are wind farms all over. One newer one I know of is in North Jutland (Nordjylland).

The planes at CPH most often land from the Oresund side, so get a seat at the right hand side of plane for best chances. For takeoffs , seat yourself left in the hope that they will take off over Oresund. You will also have a great view of the fairly new Oresund bridge.
I can mail you some of my own "air" photos (about 600kb each) of the windmill park if you like - PM me.
