The two islands Lolland and Falster, commonly just called Lolland-Falster are only separated by a narrow strait, Gulborgsund. A new ferry link, the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link, is due to open in 2021 and will connect Rødby in Lolland with Puttsgarden in Germany. The Danish twin islands Lolland-Falster are worth a visit.
The Farø bridges connect Zealand to Falster and the ferry routes to Germany. The main town on the island Falster is Nykøbing, noted for the Czarens Hus (Tsar’s House), where Peter the Great stayed in 1716, which now houses the Falsters Mint Museum of local history.
