Allinge-Almindingen-Aakirkeby

Cykeltur mellem Allinge, Almindingen og AakirkebyThe varied landscape of north Bornholm includes natural woodland, isolated granite outcrops, fields and stone walls. It is a demanding and rewarding area for cyclists. Bronze Age inhabitants cut ritual rock engravings right into the rocks overlooking Allinge.

The round Ols Church stands 113 m above sea level. The church was built as a fortress, storeroom and place of worship.

Passing through a hilly landscape with a view to Christiansø, you arrive at Rutsker Højlyng, a moorland area with Rokkestenen, a large erratic boulder, and the mysterious Stenrøret.

After passing through Spellinge Bog and Rø Plantation you reach Almindingen Forest.

In the forest you will find the idyllic Bastemose and Svinemose bogs, which are a popular breeding site for a number of ducks and birds. Ekkodalen (literally Echo Valley) and the Folk High School of Bornholm lie to the south of the forest - a few kilometres from Aakirkeby.
