Lolland
is generally flat, Falster less so, while Møn
is a haven of small hills and valleys, with the Møn
Klint chalk cliffs a breathtaking sight. Bornholm
is set apart from the rest, 150km (90 miles) east of the Danish
mainland, and is made up of fertile farmland, white beaches and
rocky coastlines. Other towns worth visiting include Nakskov,
Nykobing, Nysted, Rønne, Sakskøbing and Stege.
