scenic oresund bridge

I already wrote to ask as to how scenic is the oresund bridge, and some have recommended a one hour bus instead of the train, so as to capture the views.





I am still very undecided, so I ask this other question. How is the trip by train subdivided ? My imagination tells me as follows: First you start with an underground non-scenic part. Then you drive across an artificial island, where the train will drive in the open air hence the scenic views also of the wind farms (visibility permitting). One should thus sit on the right (going to Malmo) so as to see the wind farms. Then the train will go on the bridge, where the views are not that scenic since it drives through the lower layer of the bridge, which does not afford good views.





I probably got it all wrong, so can someone please explain. My imagination tells me that if we take the last train carriage at the very back, we could have some form of back window which will show us the bridge from a different angle as well, looking behind us.





Am I correct ?

All your assumptions are correct, except for the last one, which I don%26#39;t believe is accurate (getting a better view from the last train car - I don%26#39;t think so). The very best views of the bridge is from the Swedish side, immediately north of the bridge head. There%26#39;s a little museum showing photos etc of when the bridge was built, and from that area you also have an excellent view. You can also walk over towards the bridge, and be right underneath it. You would need a car to get to this location. Well, there are buses that run nearby, and that would then involve a short walk.
