==History== ===Færgekroen=== The first royal license to run a ferry on the sound is from 1532. Because of the strong stream the ferry was a kind of barge that was rowed by 4 men. In 1549 the king, Christian III ordered the ferry to be established, and a ferry house was to be built for the travelers. On July 20, 1669, Hvalpsund Færgekro was privileged, and the innkeeper was responsible for both the ferry and the inn, as he had already done for some years. Only in 1716 was the crown a decisive body of privilege, which also gave him the right to serve food, beer and brandy for local residents.
