5. Pat a Fish on the Way Home
Still have some energy left in the late afternoon? Then stop by the "Pat a Fish" experience platform. In the harbour's basins, freshly caught fish swim around, and children can touch them—for free. ...And if you're too tired, you can save it for next time you're in Hundested.
