Shred pow, climb some vert, and go for a hike, all atop hundreds of tons of burning garbage.
This playground is being built on a “clean energy” power plant, the Amager Resource Center (ARC), located in an industrial corner of Denmark’s capital city.
Stretching more than 280 feet into the heavens, the ARC will soon be an outdoor adventure attraction in addition to a 21st-century energy solution. It is in the process of building more than 1,600 feet of ski slopes on its roof, a climbing wall along one facade, and a rooftop hiking trail.
Built in a famously flat region, the tall structure gives athletes a little elevation to help quench their vertical jones.
