Overview

The Infinite Bridge (Den Uendelige Bro) is a circular wooden pier located on the coastline of Aarhus, Denmark. It measures 60 meters in diameter and has a circumference of 188 meters. Originally constructed for the 2015 Sculpture by the Sea exhibition, it has since become a permanent fixture on Varna Beach. The structure stands on wooden piles placed in the shallow waters of the Aarhus Bay. It allows visitors to walk in a continuous loop, providing views of the bay and the nearby forest. The bridge is intentionally designed to connect the forest landscape with the sea. It is a non-motorized, pedestrian-only installation built from durable wood. The bridge sits partially on the sand and extends into the water.

Insider tips

Bring a towel if you plan to swim from the bridge, as it is a popular spot for a dip in the bay.

Check local wind conditions, as the open structure offers no protection from coastal breezes.

Wear comfortable, non-slip footwear as the wooden planks can become slick when wet.

What to avoid

Attempting to visit during winter months when the structure has been dismantled for storage.

Good to know
