Rågø Kalv is an uninhabited Danish island in Smålandsfarvandet ( German Smålandsfahrwasser ) north of the island of Lolland . The island belonged to the Ravnsborg Kommune, then Storstrøms Amt , until 2007, and since the local reform on January 1, 2007, it belonged to the Lolland Kommune in the Sjælland region .
