Rødbyhavns

Rødbyhavn is a Danish port town located on the southern coast of the island of Lolland. It is situated in the municipality of Lolland. The town's primary function is as a ferry terminal, serving as a crucial connection between Denmark and Germany. The ferry route connects Rødbyhavn to Puttgarden in Germany, operated by the company Scandlines. This connection is a vital part of the transport infrastructure for both passenger and freight traffic between Scandinavia and continental Europe.

Historically, Rødbyhavn developed as a port to support the agricultural region of Lolland. Its importance grew significantly with the establishment of the ferry service. The town itself is relatively small, with a population primarily engaged in activities related to the port, logistics, and tourism. The surrounding area is characterized by flat, fertile farmland, typical of Lolland.

In recent years, Rødbyhavn has been the subject of discussions and plans regarding the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link, a proposed tunnel that would connect Denmark and Germany under the Fehmarn Belt strait. This project is expected to further enhance the region's transport significance, though its construction and long-term impact are subjects of ongoing debate and planning. The port infrastructure has seen continuous development to accommodate increasing traffic volumes.
