Puttgarden Port Ferry Overview
Puttgarden is a ferry harbour on the German island of Fehmarn. It lies on an important route between Germany and Denmark known as the Vogelfluglinie which crosses the 18 km strait, the Fehmarnbelt, to Rødby on the island of Lolland.
A train ferry terminal was built in Puttgarden in 1961-63 after the old ferry route from Germany lay to Denmark between Großenbrode and Gedser 1945-1963. Since the completion of the Great Belt Fixed Link in Denmark, the route via Puttgarden has become less used by trains, but the harbour is still used by Scandlines ferries. The service is frequent, with four ferries giving one connection every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day.
The Puttgarden Ferry Port is situated in the town of Puttgarden. The sole ferry service is offered by by Scandlines operate from Puttgarden, providing a important transport link between Germany and Scandinavia. The route is very important as there is currently no tunnel or bridge covering the route. Plans are in place for a tunnel to be built and completed in 2011. |
