The crossing

Denmark ↔ Fehmarn: 26.3 km between start and finish coasts. Our archive contains 37 crossings by swimmers from 8 countries.

Distance is the shortest straight line between the start and finish coastal stretches, not the GPS track length: currents cause swimmers to cover much more distance.
