Danish authorities have reopened motorway and rail links with Germany. The border crossings were closed on Wednesday in a bid to stem a flow of refugees heading north towards Sweden.<br /><br /> At Rodby, where train ferries arrive in Denmark from Germany, two trains had been stopped by police. Refugees on board the train had refused to disembark, police said. <br /><br /> Denmark is part of Europe’s Schengen zone, where borders are meant to be open to allow free movement. <br /><br /> The motorway linking the two countries was closed when around 300 refugees began walking along it. <br /><br /> Witnesses said police tried to persuade them to leave but appeared reluctant to use force.<br /><br /> Sweden and Germany are preferred destinations. Both have more generous refugee policies than their EU neighbours.<br /><br /> Many are reluctant to remain in Denmark where a centre-right government has cut benefits.
