Lolland is the fourth largest island in Denmark. It sits in the Kattegat area and is part of Region Zealand. The island covers about 1,243 square kilometers and has around 57,600 residents (2022). It is very flat, with a highest point of only 25 meters, which is why people call it the “pancake island.”

The main towns are Nakskov (the largest), Maribo, Sakskøbing, and Rødby. Since 2007, Lolland is divided into two municipalities: Lolland Municipality in the west and Guldborgsund Municipality in the east (which includes Falster).
