Danish term or phrase: opfyld
From an informational sign about a bathing spot: Med opfyld ud i fjorden anlagde han en stor dejlig have, og siden 1950erne har Søbadet været det foretrukne badested.

My reading is that opfyld refers to the construction of an embankment. As in, he built an embankment and in so doing created a large and pleasant harbour?

land fill


Explanation:
It must be about land reclamation. He used land fill to reclaim land from the fjord and started a garden (not a harbour). An embankment is something else.
