Lolland Attractions
The island of Lolland lies to the west of Falster, facing the German Baltic coast. Not counting Greenland, Lolland is the third largest Danish island after Zealand and Funen. The islands of Lolland, Falster and Møn, together with the nearby smaller islands, are known by the Danes as the "South Sea Islands".
Economy
Lolland is still an area with little industry. The largest undertakings are concentrated around Nakskov. The most important branch of the economy is the growing of sugar beet, with sugar refineries at Nakskov and Sakskøbing; fishing has declined in importance. A network of ferries has opened up Lolland for tourism.
Communications
The E47, the shortest link between Germany and Copenhagen, passes through Lolland; its southern section is known as the "as the crow flies" stretch, and a bridge is planned over the Fehmarn Belt. Two bridges over the Guldborg Sound lead from Lolland to Falster. The south of the island is reached by a ferry plying between Puttgarden in Germany and Rødbyhavn. A second ferry service from Tårs, near Nakskov, links Lolland with Langeland and Funen.
