The former DSB car ferry port of Knudshoved near Nyborg on Funen, opposite Halsskov on Zealand. Ferry connections across the Great Belt used to be anchored here before the bridge opened in 1998.

To accommodate the rapidly growing volume of car traffic across the Great Belt, the Halsskov–Knudshoved car ferry service was opened on May 27, 1957, including new access highways in both ports.

Initially, it was operated by DSB (Danish State Railways), then DSB Rederi in 1995, and Scandlines in 1997.

On June 14, 1998, ferry service officially ended with the ceremonial crossing of the M/F Arveprins Knud shortly after the opening of the Great Belt Bridge.

Today, it is a lost place, not entirely without danger and with the risk of falling.

The former Knudshoved car ferry port was the starting point of the ferry service

across the Great Belt between the Danish island of Funen and Zealand (Halsskov).

This route was inaugurated on May 27, 1957, to provide an alternative to the congested Korsør-Nyborg railway ferry service, which often resulted in long waiting times.

The ferry service was operated by the Danish State Railways (DSB).

The first ferry in service, the "M/S Halsskov," was a double-decker ferry

capable of carrying up to 200 cars and 1,000 passengers. Over the years,

other vessels were used on this route, including one named after the port, the "Knudshoved."

The era of the Knudshoved ferry port ended on June 14, 1998, when the fixed link

across the Great Belt, the Storebæltsforbindelsen, was opened.

Ferry service was discontinued, the port lost its original function

and is now a lost place.
