The Øresund/Öresund strait. (strait 0 'sund' in both languages). The width of the strait varies between 4 km and 28 km - the shortest distance being between Helsingør (DK) and Helsingborg (SE). It has annual traffic of 40.000+ ships (> 50 tonnes) per year, which makes it one of the most busy waterways in the world. For approx 400 years (1429 to 1857) ships had to pay a toll to the Danish King (later the state) to pass the strait - for many years this was his biggest source of revenue.
