Oresund
From ePedia, the electronic encyclopedia
Oresund (Danish: Øresund, Swedish: Öresund, also known as The Sound) is the strait that separates the Danish island Zealand from the south Swedish province Scania (Skåne).
Oresund is one of the three Danish Straits that connect the Baltic Sea to the Atlantic Ocean (via Kattegat, Skagerrak, and the North Sea), and is one of the busiest waterways in the world.
The Oresund Bridge was inaugurated on July 1, 2000 by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden. Between Helsingborg and Helsingør (Elsinore) in the North of Oresund there are still ferries departing around the clock.
