Route description

From Rønne, follow the cycle path along the old railway track until you reach Nyker, home to Bornholm’s smallest round church: Ny Kirke. From Nyker, the route goes slightly uphill until you reach the small town of Klemensker.

From here, you follow the old railway line into the large nature area Spellinge Mose on what some have called Denmark’s most beautiful bicycle path. The route runs at the bottom of a lush rift valley under steep rock walls.

The tour ends at the Bornholm Art Museum and the dramatically towering Helligdomsklipper with steep access stairs, deep rock crevices and large cave spiders.
