The Lolland Line (Danish: Lollandsbanen) is a 50.2 kilometres (31.2 mi) long railway line in Denmark which runs mostly on the island of Lolland between the cities of Nykøbing Falster and Nakskov via Maribo.[2]

The railway line opened in 1874. It is currently operated by the regional railway company Lokaltog which runs frequent local train services from Nakskov to Nykøbing Falster with onward connections from Nykøbing to the rest of Denmark.[1]
