Strelasund

thumb|250px|The Strelasund (in cyan) The Strelasund or Strela Sound is a sound of the Baltic Sea which separates Rügen from the German mainland. It is crossed by a bridge called the Strelasund Crossing from Stralsund. It runs northwest to southeast from a small shallow bay just north of Stralsund called the Kubitzer Bodden through to another such bay, the Greifswalder Bodden in the southeast. The sound is nowhere much more than 3 km wide, reaching its greatest width towards its southeast end. It is roughly 25 km long.

The only island of any size in the Strelasund is Dänholm just off Stralsund, which carries part of the Rügendamm across the sound.
