Albuen (from Danish Albue = elbow) is an uninhabited peninsula on the western tip of the Danish island of Lolland between the Nakskovfjord and the Great Belt since the late 1960s . It has an area of 720.6 hectares and is connected to Lolland by a 5 km long and 20 to 200 meter wide headland called Dragene . On old nautical charts it can be seen that Albuen was still an island at the beginning of the 20th century . On Albuen there is a lighthouse for navigation in the Langelandsbelt. The fire was shut down in 2016.
Albuen belongs to the parish community ( Danish : Sogn ) Kappel Sogn , which until 1970 belonged to Harde Lollands Sønder Herred in the Maribo office , since then to the Rudbjerg municipality in the former Storstrøms office , which became part of the Lolland municipality in the course of the municipal reform on January 1, 2007 the Sjælland region has risen.
