  Døn Valley - Døndalen

  1.82 km

  Døn Valley (Døndalen) is remarkably beautiful all year. But the rift valley is most beautiful just before the leaves burst and when the forest floor is filled with windflowers and the bear's garlic, and when you can hear the nightingale sing between the cliffs.

   

  <strong>Denmarks highest waterfall</strong>

  In the middle of the Døndalen (translatable as "The Thunder Valley") you'll find Denmark's highest waterfall - with around 20 metres (or 65 ft). From the cliff called Amtmandsstenen, "the stone of the bailiff", you'll have a unique and breathtaking view over the tree tops, the sea and all the way to Christiansø..

  <strong>Hiking in Døndalen</strong>

  The easiest hiking tour through Døndalen to the waterfall is about 2 kilometres or 1.2 miles in total. It will take you approximately an hour to walk, and the trail is solid - so that you even can take your pushchair with you.

   

  <strong>Take on your rubber boots</strong>

  During winter and spring we would recommend to you to take on your rubber boots, when you go hiking in the Døndalen. Because of the rain and melted snow, the waterlevel in the creek will be significantly higher during winter and spring, than during summer and fall.

  Hammershus

  7.84 km

  The largest castle ruin in Northern Europe
  Experience the largest castle ruin in Northern Europe and the most popular attraction on Bornholm – a place to fire the imagination and bring the history of Bornholm to life. The oldest part of the fortress was probably built in the early 12th century to consolidate control of the island by the Archbishop of Lund (which was then part of Denmark), which he had acquired through a treaty with King Svend III Grathe of Denmark.

  Quite new research and excavations from 2015 however seem to prove the fact, that the castle first was ready around the year 1300, and should have been built by Jens Grand – archbishop in Lund from 1289-1302.

  For the next 500 years Hammershus was the stronghold of the island’s various rulers. Hammershus was rebuilt and extended on several occasions.

  Hammershus is handed back
  Until the mid-15th century, Crown and church fought. Bornholm remained an important pawn in the game, with the king taking Hammershus, and with it control of Bornholm, several times. Every time, though, the island was handed back to the archiepiscopal see, for the last time by King Valdemar IV Atterdag in 1362. This time, however, the bishop recognised the right of the Crown to demand the return of Hammershus when the king so wished. But it was not until 1522 that King Christian II exercised this right and asked for the castle to be handed back.

  Leonora Christina and Corfitz Ulfeldt
  In 1660-61 Danish King Christian IV’s daughter, Leonora Christina, and her husband, Corfitz Ulfeldt, were imprisoned in the castle for treason. A dramatic escape down the walls and cliffs failed.

  Hammershus – the old fortress
  Hammershus retained its role of defending Bornholm right up until the end of the 17th century, when the defence of Denmark’s easternmost territory passed to the defences on Christiansø and at Rønne. In 1743 Hammershus was finally abandoned as a stronghold and the people of Bornholm were free to gather building materials from the site until 1822, when the ruins were put on the national historic register.

  Hammershus Visitor Center 
  Experience Hammershus in a new way from the visitor center at Hammershus. From the visitor center you can see Hammershus in a panoramic view. The visitor center also has a fascinating exhibition where you can read the incredible history of the castle ruin. Read more about the visitor center here.

  Brohusets shop and café
  Within the Visitor Centre you’ll find the new Brohusets shop and café.

  No climbing on the walls

  Gudhjem Museum

  7.65 km

  ART, HISTORY and NATURE come together here in one and the same place

   

  <strong>Gudhjem Museum</strong>

  shows changing exhibitions with a focus on Bornholm art and handicrafts in the bright and inviting exhibition hall.

  In the listed station building from 1916, you can immerse yourself in the history of Gudhjem and the railway. The building's unique architecture and original interiors are in themselves worth a visit.

  <strong>The art</strong>

  The new exhibition building from 1990, designed by architect Niels Frithiof Truelsen, was created for the exhibition of art and crafts with a nice incidence of light and good space.

  During the 2024 season, 5 different exhibitions of new Bornholm art and crafts will be shown. A regular feature is the artists' association 'Holkahesten's summer exhibition. See the exhibition program on the museum's website.

  <strong>The story</strong>

  The old railway station, designed by architects Kay Fisker and Aage Rafn, forms the setting for the storytelling. The building was inaugurated in 1916 and served as the terminus of the Gudhjembanen until it was closed in 1953.

  In the station building's original packing room, you can delve into the history of the local railway between Almindingen and Gudhjem. Gudhjem Museum has chosen to dedicate other rooms of the station to an exhibition of works by Aage Schad, who worked in Gudhjem in the 1900s, and who today is being completely forgotten, even though he was once recognized and famous – also abroad.

  In the old vestibule you can see the exhibition "Find the motif", which will inspire you to go out into the city and find the same motifs that artists have depicted in their paintings over time. With the help of a map where the artist's position is indicated, you can rediscover houses and the landscape as it appears today. The map is free and available at the museum.

  <strong>The nature</strong>

  In front of the museum, you find a 15,000 m2 field that has been laid out as a habitat for wild plants and butterflies. Footpaths and impressive granite sculptures are part of the field's decor. Go exploring and enjoy the magnificent view of the countryside and the Baltic Sea.

  The sculpture garden with works by Ole Christensen, Inge Lise Westman, Julie Høm and Jun-Ichi Inoue forms a connection between the museum buildings and the butterfly field.

   

  <strong>A room for reflection</strong>

  The museum's sketch collection with works by, among others Oluf Høst, has been scanned in and is displayed on a screen in the same room, where a selection of the sketches is hung. In the same place, you can sit quietly and look at the books and pamphlets that are for sale in the shop.

  <strong>Local history archive</strong>

  Salomon's Chapel

  8.85 km

  Visit Salomon's Chapel (Salomons Kapel) on a hiking tour along Hammerknuden and see the place, where the large medieval herring markets were held.

   

  Salomon's Chapel is a small chapel, which was built in the 13th century for the many herring fishermen, who brought their catch to the small natural harbours along the shore. You'll pass Salomons Chapel on your hiking tour along Hammerknudens coastline.

   

  Northwest of the Chapel was a well, which was named Salomon's well. The water from this well, the people said, made you healthy. And especially around Skt. Hans (midsummer), people came to the well. Several historic sources say, that people stopped doing that around the time of the reformation - and also the importance of Salomons Chapel became less and less as the the herring swarms disappeared.

  <h2>Hans Rømer - the forests first warden</h2>

  At the end of the 18th century, hardly any tree was left at the area, that we know as Almindingen forest today. In 1822, the young forest warden Hans Rømer was hired to replant the forest. This day today, you still can see the signs of the huge effort that was made to replant the forest - the tremendous stone walls along the forest, to keep the grassing deer outside of the new plantings.

  <h2>Sleep in the forest</h2>

  In Almindingen Forest you are allowed to encamp for free, in the area between Bolsterbjergvej and Åsedamsvej but stick to the rules, which you can find at the <a href="https://eng.naturstyrelsen.dk/experience-nature/sleeping-outside-in-nature/">Naturstyrelsen website.</a>
