European route E47

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

European route E47 is a highway going from Lübeck in Germany over Copenhagen, Denmark to Helsingborg, Sweden, which is also known under the name Vogelfluglinie. The road has motorway standard all the way except for 18.75 miles (30km) in Germany, and two ferry connections.

The route has a ferry connection between Germany and Denmark. A bridge, the Fehmarn Belt bridge is planned there.
Also, there is a ferry connection between Denmark (Helsingør) and Sweden (Helsingborg). There are no plans for a bridge or tunnel here within short time. There is a bridge-tunnel combination between Denmark and Sweden further south, but still the ferry Helsingør-Helsingborg has a dense schedule.

[edit] Termini

The northern terminus is at the intersection of European route E4 in Helsingborg, and the southern terminus is at European route E22 north of Lübeck.
