Farø south bridge to Falster.
'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.
It is connected to
Zealand in the north by two bridges – the
Farø 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.
