Egernsund (German: Ekensund) is a small town, with a population of 1,431 (1 January 2025),[1] in Sønderborg Municipality, Region of Southern Denmark in Denmark.
Egernsund is situated on the northwestern end of the small peninsula of Broager Land on the northern shore of Flensborg Fjord (Flensburg Firth) and east of the short and narrow strait, called Egern Strait, connecting the firth with the small inlet of Nybøl Nor to the north.
The Egernsund Bridge connects Egernsund with Alnor, the southern part of Gråsten, by crossing Egern Strait.
The small Egernsund Harbour was formerly important for the transport of bricks from the brickworks in and around Egernsund, but this is now done by truck.[2]
