Lammefjord

Lammefjord is a strait in Denmark that separates the Odsherred peninsula from the rest of Zealand. Historically, it was a deep inlet of the Isefjord, but much of it has been reclaimed from the sea through land reclamation projects, most notably in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This reclamation transformed the shallow waters into fertile farmland, significantly increasing agricultural productivity in the region.

The Lammefjord area is known for its flat, low-lying terrain, a direct result of the drainage and cultivation of the former seabed. This rich, dark soil is ideal for growing various crops, including vegetables, potatoes, and grains. The reclaimed land is often referred to as the "Lammefjordens tørre bund" (Lammefjord's dry bottom).

The Lammefjord strait itself is now much narrower than it once was, with parts of the former seabed being actively farmed. The remaining water bodies are important for local wildlife and bird populations. The transformation of Lammefjord is a significant example of human intervention in the landscape for agricultural purposes and remains a notable feature of Zealand's geography and history.
