The route starts in the small town of Rø, but can of course be started anywhere. From Rø, follow the coast north past Helligdomsklipper and Døndalen and up past the trendy fishing port of Tejn and the secret Sandkås Beach.
From Allinge, you turn inland and come to the still active Moseløkken Granite Quarry with a museum, do-it-yourself granite and climbing walls. Follow Ravnedalen east to Olsker, whose elegant round church is Bornholm’s highest. Follow the small cycle paths and side roads back towards Rø and pass Spellinge Mose along the way, where the paths wind between steep cliffs and lush wetlands.
Helligdomsklipperne (the Sanctuary Cliffs) are one of Bornholm's – and indeed Denmark's – greatest natural attractions. Over the millennia, the waves at this location has eroded the rocky coast and created deep gorges into the mountain. What remains now are the sharp cliffs, jagged granite pillars and steep rock walls with deep passages and caves – so-called "ovens", which together make up the Sanctuary Cliffs. Read more here.
Døndalen is beautiful in all seasons! However, it is most beautiful just before the leaves come out, when the forest floor is covered in anemones and strongly scented bear's garlic, and the song of nightingales rings out between the cliff sides. Read more here.
The small port town of Tejn can be found a little southeast of the twin towns of Allinge-Sandvig. Tejn has undergone a huge transformation over the years and today offers experiences for the whole family. Read more here.
