website =Falster is a Danish island. The area of the island is 514 km² (198 sq. miles), 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 , nearGedser .It is connected to
Zealand in the north by two bridges – theFarø Bridges (Farøbroerne) are part of Euroroute E47 fromCopenhagen (andHelsingborg ) toLübeck (and thenceHamburg and the south). The E47 continues via a tunnel under theGuldborgsund strait to the western neighbouring island ofLolland . From there, a ferry connects to Germany, but plans exist for aFehmarn 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 ofMøn .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.ee also
