Everything about Lolland totally explained
Lolland (formerly spelled
Laaland) is the fourth largest
island of
Denmark, with an area of some 1,243
square kilometers (480 sq. miles). Located in the
Baltic sea, it's part of
Region Sjælland (County of Sealand).
The highest peak of the entire isle is 25 m (82 ft) high and was an important spot for the communication highway for the
Germans during
World War II. The peak is just outside the village of
Horslunde. Historically,
sugar beets have been grown there.
The largest town of Lolland is
Nakskov, with 15,500 residents. Other towns worth noting are
Maribo (6,000 residents),
Sakskøbing (3,500 residents), and
Rødby (2,500 residents).
The governments of Denmark and Germany planed to connect Lolland with the German island
Fehmarn, by a future
Fehmarn Belt bridge.
Route E47 from
Copenhagen crosses the
Guldborgsund strait between Lolland and Falster via a modern tunnel, but the motorway currently terminates at
Rødbyhavn where a ferry carries vehicles to Fehmarn. Two older bridges also span the strait between Lolland and Falster, the
Frederick IX Bridge and Guldborgsund bridge at the northern end of the strait.
Since
January 1 2007 Lolland has been administered by two municipalities,
Lolland covering the western two thirds, and
Guldborgsund uniting the eastern third with the neighbouring island
Falster.
