Sjælland is not connected to Sweden, but
Peberholmen is, and then Amager before Sjælland.
Funen is also stuck on Sjælland and then connected
to continental Europe.
Between Peberholmen and Amager is no bridge, but
tunnel.

Campobello-type islands
nice question
if i am reading the map right
then
sjaelland & falster & lolland
& any other islands connected to
them
tho of course all connected to one another
are not connected to
continental denmark
but only to continental sweden
& england
along with any other islands connected to it
is connected to
continental france
but not to its own continental part
namely
gibraltar
& penon de velez de la gomera is usually connected to
morocco
by a natural causeway
except perhaps in highest seas
but is
only connected to continental spain via asia
