The Sallingsund Brigde

Sallingsundbroen – the connection across the fjord with height, span and open views between Mors and Salling

The bridge rises high above the water and stretches in a long, gentle arc across Sallingsund.

From here you move between regions while the fjord opens up beneath you.
