    One of the longest bridge connections in the world lies between the two Danish islands of Funen and Zealand. The Great Belt Bridge not only facilitates travel
    to Copenhagen, but is also a sight in its own right.
    The Great Belt Bridge was opened in 1998. It connects western Denmark with Zealand, the country's most populous island, which is also home to the capital. The bridge itself is part of the Great Belt Bridge (Storebæltsforbindelsen)
    and consists of two smaller bridge sections.
    The western bridge runs from Funen to the artificially created island of Sprogø. This is a shallow prestressed concrete bridge with a length of 6,611 m.
    The eastern bridge section, in turn, connects Sprogø to Zealand.
    The middle section of the 6,790 m long eastern bridge consists of a suspension bridge.
    At 2,694 meters long, it is the longest suspension bridge in Europe
    and the third longest in the world.
    The western bridge serves as a road and rail bridge. At Sprogø, the tracks branch off and continue through a separate railway tunnel to the island of Zealand, leaving the eastern bridge open only to road traffic.
    At 18 meters high, the western section is significantly lower than the eastern section, which at times rises 65 meters above sea level.

      The Storebæltbroen, translated as the Great Belt Bridge, is a bridge structure in Denmark that connects the island of Funen and Zealand. The bridge juts out over the Great Belt Strait and is used by both vehicles (tolls!) and railways. Unfortunately, there is no way to walk across the bridge.
