Rundetarn is a round and stepless tower with a height of 36 metres in the city centre of Copenhagen. The unique tower was built for horses and their equestrians. Because there are no steps on the way to the top, it’s possible to ride up, and horse and equestrian are able to enjoy a wonderful view over the city.
