Sice that the Fehmarnbelt project’s viewing point, Pilen, in Denmark was inaugurated in March, 112,000 people have visited Pilen to take in the view of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel construction near Rødbyhavn.
In just six months, Pilen and the tunnel construction site have become one of the most popular destinations on Lolland, attracting both locals and tourists.
According to Lindy Kjøller, destination manager at Visit Lolland-Falster: “Pilen has quickly become one of Lolland-Falster’s biggest attractions. It is fantastic to see both locals and tourists coming together for this unique experience, which not only offers insight into the impressive construction project but also invites us to look into the future and imagine the opportunities it will bring.”
With 217m length and and 24m height, Pilen is a vantage point placed near the entrance to the tunnel, that was designed to make it possible to follow the construction project and to inspire children and young people to consider careers in construction and engineering.
“The many visitors to Pilen highlight the great interest in the Fehmarnbelt project. Experiencing our construction site up close not only emphasises the scale of the project but also the pride, opportunities, and energy the construction is already bringing to Lolland-Falster,” said Maria Steno, communications director at Sund & Bælt.
In order to giving people a view of the job site near Puttgarden, a platform was opened in Germany in July.
