The Iceberg Easily recognisable, the dramatic Iceberg (Isbjerget) building on Aarhus' waterfront is part of a wave of interest in and development of exciting architecture in Aarhus. The infinity bidge Imagine a bridge on which you can walk and walk and walk. The circle shaped, wooden construction gives a stunning panoramic view."
