The Old Lillebælt Bridge is interesting an interesting dive site thanks to the old bridge pillars. The old granite pillars are magnificent to see, not only from an architectural point of view but also because of the wonderful flora and fauna. The bridge is home to crabs, lobsters, flatfish, gobies, codfish and much more. Equally interesting are the large stones on the bottom, overgrown with carnations and orange sponges, and the old war remnants on either side of the pillars. The Old Lillebælt Bridge was commissioned in 1935. For many years the bridge was an important part in the east-west route in Denmark and still is when it comes to rail traffic between Jutland, Funen and Zealand. Diving is possible at low and high tide.
