Bicycle route: Krølle-Bølle Route

Ride in Krølle-Bølle's tracks from his home on Langebjerg and around to some of the many attractions on Bornholm, which the little troll boy makes unsafe.

 

Facts about the route

Length: 110 km
Surface: Mostly asphalt and some gravel road

Route description

You would think that the trip is for children, but 110 km in total means that it should be broken down into smaller chunks if the little ones want to join. Start the trip in Sandvig near Langebjerg, where Krølle-Bølle lives.

Stop at Hammershus and say hello to the Camelheads and Lionhead. From here you drive down to Jons Kapel and further along the coastline to Hasle and Rønne.

Along the way, Krølle-Bølle visits the coal quarry (now converted into beautiful forest lakes) and Kastellet in Rønne. You can do that too.

From Rønne you cycle along the south coast of Bornholm to Dueodde, where Krølle-Bølle takes a dip.

Cycle up to Nexø and possibly take a detour to Paradisbakkerne and Rokkestenen.

The trip can end in Svaneke, where it is a good idea to reward yourself with a well-deserved Krølle-Bølle ice cream at Bornholms Ismejeri, or continue back to Sandvig and hurry home before Langebjerg/the ice cream shop/the wine bar closes.

The book about Krølle-Bølle’s trip around Bornholm can be purchased at Bornholm’s Tourist Information or ordered online here.
