Everything about Limfjord totally explained
» This is in Denmark. For the sea inlet in Croatia, see Lim (Croatia).
The
Limfjord (in
Danish:
Limfjorden [ˈliːmˌfjoːˀɐn]) is a shallow
sound in
Denmark that separates the island of
Vendsyssel-Thy from the rest of
Jutland Peninsula. It extends from
Thyborøn Channel on the
North Sea to
Hals on the
Kattegat. It is approximately 180
kilometres long and of an irregular shape with several bays, narrowings,
and islands, most notably
Mors. It is deepest at Hvalpsund (24 metres). Its main port is
Aalborg, where a railway and a road bridge are built across
Limfjorden to Nørresundby, while motorway E45 passes it through a tunnel to the east.
Limfjorden was first connected with the North Sea on
February 3,
1825 when a flood pierced an opening, the so-called
Agger Channel, in the north of a 13 km long and less than 1 km wide
isthmus, the
Agger Tange. This isthmus had until then linked Vendsyssel-Thy with the rest of
Jutland.
In
1862, another flood pierced another opening, the Thyborøn Channel, through the remainder of Agger Tange
(see satellite image)
. Agger Channel was continuously filling with sand, and was eventually closed in
1877.
Limfjorden is famous for its tasty
mussels (
Mytilus edulis)
(External Link). Gourmets appreciate its
oysters which are considered to be of extraordinary size and quality.
There are two powerline crossings of Limfjord (
Limfjorden Overhead powerline crossing 1 and
Limfjorden Overhead powerline crossing 2).
