Just the suspension bridge and it's approaches (eleven miles round trip) from
Zealand to an island in the middle of the Great Belt waterway. There's also a
West Bridge from that island to Funen of nearly equal length, but was not the
focus of the Bridge Walk. In my five days in Denmark I did indeed do the Bridge
Walk each of the three days it was held. This bridge has no pedestrian right of
way, thus my only opportunity to do so was during this celebration. I was at a
similar celebration in Japan just three months earlier for the grand opening of
the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge (world's longest suspension bridge).
By the way, one of the two remaining days was spent at LEGOland and surrounding
evirons. The other at Egeskov Castle.
