About
Kolindsund (English: Sound of Kolind) is a 26.4-square-kilometer (10.2 sq mi) elongated lakebed on the Djursland peninsula in Denmark. It extends 25 kilometers (16 mi) west, inland from the coastal town of Grenå by the Kattegat sea to the railway town of Kolind at its western end. The former lake was drained through a series of canals, dams, and pumping stations beginning in May 1874. Today, the area is rich farmland kept dry by means of electric pumping stations.
