The Fehmarnsund Tunnel is intended to connect the island of Fehmarn with the Schleswig-Holstein mainland and to pass under the Fehmarnsund as an immersed tunnel. This project is very controversial but will be implemented soon as part of the construction of the Fehmarnbelt crossing to Lolland (the EU's highest priority)....

The Strukkamphuk lighthouse is just 5 metres high. Unfortunately, it is fenced off on private property and therefore cannot be visited. Nevertheless, it is worth spending a few minutes there. On the right-hand side of the wall you can take a photo without the annoying railing.

It's an impressive feeling to drive under the bridge. On the way from Strukkamphuk lighthouse there are some beautiful points where you can take “your” photo. There is a small parking lot directly at the bridge on the western side, but it is definitely better to get there by bike.
