Falster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Falster is a Danish island. The area of the island is 514 km² and there are 43,537 inhabitants, over 40% of whom live in the principal town, Nykøbing Falster. It includes Denmark's southernmost point, Gedser Odde.
It is connected to Zealand in the north by two bridges - the Farö Bridges (Farøbroerne) are part of Euroroute E47 from Copenhagen (and Helsingborg) to Lübeck (and thence Hamburg and the south). The E47 continues via a tunnel under the Guldborgsund strait to the western neighbouring island of Lolland. From there, a ferry connects to Germany, but plans exist for a Fehmarn Belt bridge to replace the ferry. The Farø bridges join on the small island of Farø, and from there a further bridge gives access to the eastern neighbouring island of Møn.
There are two other bridges connecting to Lolland, the Guldborgsund bridge at the northern end of the strait and the Frederick IX Bridge at Nykøbing Falster.
