Grønsund

Grønsund is a strait located between the Danish islands of Falster and Møn. It connects the Baltic Sea to the Smålandsfarvandet, a large body of water separating the islands of Zealand and Lolland. The strait is relatively narrow and shallow in parts, with a maximum depth of around 20 meters. It is an important shipping route for smaller vessels and serves as a vital link for local ferry services.

The area around Grønsund is characterized by agricultural land and coastal landscapes. The strait itself is known for its birdlife, attracting various species of waterfowl and waders, particularly during migration periods. The western side of Grønsund is part of the island of Falster, while the eastern side belongs to Møn. The small village of Grønsund is situated on the Falster side.

Historically, Grønsund has played a role in local trade and transport. Its strategic location has made it a point of interest for centuries. Today, it remains a significant geographical feature of the Danish archipelago, facilitating both natural processes and human activity. The waters are often calm, making it a popular spot for recreational boating and fishing.
