Strelasund

[1] It runs northwest to southeast from a small shallow bay just north of Stralsund called the Kubitzer Bodden through to another such bay, the Greifswalder Bodden in the southeast.

The sound is nowhere much more than 3 km wide, reaching its greatest width towards its southeast end.

The only island of any size in the Strelasund is Dänholm just off Stralsund, which carries part of the Rügendamm across the sound.

The first in 1362 and the second in 1369 both pitted Danish king Valdemar IV against the Hanseatic fleet.
