Never seen so much GA activity around this place. I live close to CPH, and the GA community have certainly embraced the lack of commercial traffic, and are seen several times a day entering the control zone and overflying the airport. Heck, the other day they towed a vintage glider up from one of the runways, and a few weeks ago a pair of hot air balloons were launched just outside the airport, and were allowed to fly over as low as they wanted "as long as you don't touch". We also had one of the army helicopters hover right next to the tower, exchanging pleasantries; I suppose ATC are just happy to have someone to talk to.

Also seen loads of gliders on Flight radar. Maybe not more than normal, but due to the lack of commercial traffic they are now showing up.

In other words, no GA restrictions in this neck of the wood. And why would there be?
