The Oresund, a spectacular 15km-long sea crossing, has become the symbol of connecting two beautiful countries in Northern Europe.
The Oresund - The bridge between Denmark and Sweden
Buildings around the border line always play a very important role.Not only are they delimiting boundaries between countries, they are also unique and interesting masterpieces created by humans.The Oresund road between Denmark and Sweden is a good example.
The Oresund was designed by Danish architect George KS Rotne, starting from the Danish capital Copenhagen and ending in Malmo, Sweden.
The interesting point of this unique road is the wonderful combination of a bridge and tunnel through the seabed .The Oresund welcomed the first guests on July 1, 2000.
The 8km-long bridge takes tourists through a beautiful artificial island named Peberholm .
The island is famous for its diversity of plants with more than 500 species of plants, which is also where birds and green toads choose to shelter and give birth.
Materials to build this transfer point are dredged from the bottom of the ocean.
Following the majestic bridge and the beautiful island is the Drogden tunnel with a length of 4km.
Unique cohesive roads include 4 road lanes and dedicated roads for trains.
Most passengers choose trains to travel with a 35-minute journey.
Thanks to this connection, people can conveniently travel and work in both countries.
The bridge is brilliant in the fireworks night.
The panorama of the one-way road links the two Nordic countries.
The bridge has 2 floors, upper floor for cars and below for trains.
