Gellenstrom

The Gellenstrom is a shipping channel in the Baltic Sea and forms the northwestern access to the ports of Stralsund and Strelasund.

It is located in the Baltic Sea west of the peninsula of Gellen which gives it its name and which forms part of the island of Hiddensee.

In addition, it is the main route from the Darss-Zingst Bodden Chain to the Baltic.

The Gellenstrom has a guaranteed depth of 3.70 metres and is controlled by the Gellen light which marks its northern approach.

To the west is the island of Bock, which was formed from sand dredged from the channel.
