Facts and practical information

Kolindsund is a 26.4 square kilometer elongated drained lake on the peninsula Djursland in Denmark, extending 25 kilometers west, inland from the seaport Grenå by the Kattegat sea. The bottom of the drained lake is on average 2.5 meters below sea level. Today the area is rich farmland kept dry by means of two pumping stations. At each station a 240 HP pump is turned on as needed regulated by the water level in the canals that feed water to the pumps. The width of Kolindsund varies between 0.8 kilometers and 2.5 kilometers.
