Lolland

Lolland (formerly spelled Laaland) is the fourth largest island of Denmark, being 1,243 square kilometers large. It is part of the county Storstr�m.

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.

The largest town of Lolland is Nakskov, with 10,000 residents. Other towns worth noting are Maribo, Saksk�bing[?] (which was the capital of Denmark for two years some time in the 15th century) and R�dby[?].
