Galløkken: An Oasis in the Heart of Rønne
Galløkken, located within the city limits of Rønne, is a popular excursion spot that combines historical significance with natural beauty.
In the old days, the city’s gallows stood on Galløkken, which was then known as Galgeløkken (gallow field), but today it is a favored destination for both locals and visitors.
The park is a green oasis where one can take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Galløkken is known for its rich flora and fauna and is a perfect destination for nature lovers who want to observe the changing seasons or just take a relaxing walk. Well-maintained paths lead through the area, making it accessible to everyone, including families with strollers and people with limited mobility.
For water enthusiasts, Galløkken also offers direct access to a recently established beautiful beach. The beach is ideal for those who want to enjoy the sun, swim in the sea, or just relax with a good book by the water’s edge. The clean sandy beach and clear water invite for long days in the spirit of the water.
Galløkken is also rich in history; here you will find remains of the island’s largest cannon battery from World War II as well as the island’s Defense Museum. These historical elements add depth to the visit and provide a unique insight into the island’s past.
