Grasshopper bridge on Enø

In the northwest, the island has been connected to Karrebæksminde on Sjælland by a bridge since 1814 . The current bascule bridge from 1936 was given the shape of a giant grasshopper (Græshoppen bro) during renovation work in 1988 and is now the most striking structure on this holiday island.

The island belongs to the parish community ( Danish : Sogn ) Karrebæk Sogn , which until 1970 belonged to Harde Øster Flakkebjerg Herred in what was then Sorø Amt , then to Næstved Kommune in what was then Storstrøms Amt , which became part of the “new” with the municipal reform on January 1, 2007Næstved municipality in the Sjælland region has risen.

Enø By is the only place on the island where over 80 percent of the population live.
