The Great Belt bridge connecting Denmark´s two largest islands Zealand and Funen is one of the most beautiful - if not the most beautiful - bridges in Europe. The perhaps internationally more famous Øresund bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden is also a wonderful bridge-tunnel, but not quite as elegant as the link between the two Danish islands consisting of a 6790 meter long suspension bridge and 6611 meter long combined rail and road bridge. In addition there is an 8 km long rail tunnel between Zealand ant the little island of Sprogø.

On this page there is a wonderful picture showing the world´s biggest cruise ship Oasis of the Seas passing under the Great Belt bridge at night:
