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 German s 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 .

The governments of Denmark and Germany plan to connect Lolland with the German island Fehmarn , by the Fehmarn Belt Bridge .
