Changing the landscape
New elements in the landscape |
for some kilometres into the countryside. The ramps to a bridge will be built onpiers or embankments, while the ramps to a tunnel will be located under the surface of the earth. The ramps will create new barriers in the landscape, regardless of whether the fixed link ends up being a bridge or a tunnel. The same applies to the toll station on Lolland, which, due to its size, illumination and traffic will constitute a significant element in the landscape. The access ramps can also have a consequence for the coasts of Fehmarn and Lolland. For example, the landscape directly along the coast may change as a result of erosion by the sea and deposits. 3D virtual images help the project 3D virtual images serve as an important tool in this planning work. These are photographs, drawings or 3D animation which show the appearance of the landscape both before and after construction of the fixed link. This will make it possible to compare the impact of various layouts and configurations.

For thousands of years, people have cultivated their surroundings. The landscape and the soil have been determining factors of how people have lived, and whether the land is farmed, forest or virgin nature.
The history of a landscape is therefore important if its future use is to be evaluated. The evaluations include landscape experience value and analyses of vulnerability to technical installations.
Visualisations are good to give landscape specialists an impression of how the fixed link will affect the landscape. They can then use that knowledge when providing recommendations for location of land facilities (mainly roads and railways)
