Since the opening in March 2025, over 100,000 visitors have visited Pilen to take in the view of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel construction near Rødbyhavn. Exactly 112,000 visitors have passed through the counting device at this new attraction.
In just six months, Pilen and the tunnel construction site have established themselves as one of the most popular destinations on Lolland, attracting both locals and tourists.
“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,” says Lindy Kjøller, Destination Manager at Visit Lolland-Falster.
Pilen is a 217-meter-long and 24-meter-high vantage point located near the entrance to the upcoming Fehmarnbelt tunnel to Germany. It was specifically designed to make it possible to follow the fascinating 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 emphasizes the scale of the project but also the pride, opportunities, and energy the construction is already bringing to Lolland-Falster,” says Maria Steno, Communications Director at Sund & Bælt.
Directly connected to Pilen, Sund & Bælt has created a nature trail that leads to the exhibition about the construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel in Rødbyhavn. The trail is 2.2 kilometers long and passes through lakes, forests, open landscapes, ponds, and the former railway tracks in Rødbyhavn.
Pilen is freely accessible to everyone all the way to the top and is open year-round.
