Bicycle route: Nexø and Paradisbakkerne

Belgium has “Hell in the North.” Bornholm has “Heaven in the South” with this small and extremely compact route in a unique piece of Bornholm nature: Paradisbakkerne.

Heaven in the South: Nexø-Paradisbakkerne-Nexø

 

Facts about the route

Length: 16 km
Surface: 15 km asphalt and 1 km gravel road

Route description

Start from Nexø along the sea towards Aarsdale, before turning inland. From here it goes uphill along the small Oksemyrevej, which takes you directly into Paradisbakkerne.

The Paradisbakkerne can easily be experienced on wheels, but it is best if you also take the time to venture into the landscape on foot along the area’s three well-marked hiking routes. South of Oksemyrevej you come to Rokkestenen, Grydesø and Gamleborg (follow the signs), while to the north you will find heather areas, cairns and wild blueberries.

Turn on to the road and freewheel along Klintebyvejen back towards Nexø.
