Lolland

Lolland (formerly spelled Laaland) is the fourth largest island of Denmark, with an area of some 1,243 square kilometers. Located in the Baltic Sea, it is part of the county Storstrøm.

The highest peak of the entire isle, is 25 meters 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 . Since Lolland doesn't get any higher, it is very flat. Historically, sugar beets have been grown here.

The largest town of Lolland is Nakskov, with 10,000 residents. Other towns worth noting are Maribo, Sakskøbing (which was the capital of Denmark for two years some time in the 15th century) and Rødby.
