Lolland

 

an island in the Baltic Sea, part of southern Denmark. Area, 1,200 sq km. Lolland is composed of limestones and clays; the predominant relief is morainal plain, with hills in the center and the northwest (elevations to 25 m). In places the island is covered with beech and oak forests. Much of Lolland is cultivated (grains and sugar beets), and there is a dense network of drainage ditches and pipes. Shallow expanses of offshore land have been drained and are protected by dikes. Lolland is linked with Falster Island by a railroad bridge. The main city and port is Nakskov.
