  Døndalen

  1.81 km

  Denmarks highest waterfall
  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..

  Hiking in Døndalen
  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.

  Take on your rubber boots
  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.

  Jons Kapel

  9.27 km

  Jons Kapel på Bornholm
  Jons Kapel is a dry cave in the freestanding cliff Jons Kirke (Jon’s Church). You’ll find the formation close to the former restaurant/café Gines Minde.

  Jon wanted to christian Bornholm
  The legend says that the monk Jon came to the island to christian Bornholm. He was said to live in the cave and the islanders came down to him in order to see, who he was and to hear, what he had to say. Jon preached God’s word from the bible and more and more liked, what he was telling. In the end Jon had to preach from the pulpit like rockformation besides the “church”.

  Many steps down to the rock formation
