Voosi Strait
(Redirected from Voosi kurk)
The Voosi Strait[1] (Estonian: Voosi kurk) is a strait in Estonia located between the island of Vormsi and the Noarootsi Peninsula on the mainland;[1][2] this strait is part of Väinameri.
Several islets are located in the strait: Nätegrunne, Seasaar, Ulassaar, and Väike-Tjuka.
It is believed that the name Voosi is derived from a former inn called the Voosi Inn (Estonian: Voosi kõrts).[3]
