32 Recommended route 8 - Østerlars Kirke Gudhjem - Østerlars - Gudhjem 27 km 22 km asphalt · 5 km gravel Over half of this route, which has been contour mapped with start and finish In Gudhjem, follows cycle tracks that are completely separated from other traffic. The rest of the route follows small minor roads. Start off along cycle route 10 from Gudhjem towards Melsted. The route can be completed in 1.5 hours by an experienced cyclist. Just south of Gudhjem there is a little sandy beach that stretches from Melsted Harbour to Melsted Badehotel. At one end of the beach a little stream flows into the sea, where children can play for hours building dams. At the other end of the beach there is a bathing jetty, so you won’t need to walk on the pebbles on the seabed. From the hotel terrace there is a marvellous view of the beach and the island of Christiansø in the distance. From Melsted, follow cycle route 25 inland. Soon you come to the beautiful Stavehøl Waterfall. Stavehøl is eight metres deep and two metres wide. With a drop of three metres, it is not the highest waterfall on the island, but a lovely sight none the less. There is a delightful walk from the waterfall along the Kobbeå Stream to the sea. Kobbeådalen is a fissure valley with steep and in some places almost vertical sides. At Østerlars you pass the islands - and Denmark’s - largest round church. http://veloroutes.org/r/72452 http://g.co/maps/e695t You can make a detour starting from Østerlars Round Church to see the disused gneiss quarry, situated to the north. Follow the cycle route towards Gudhjem and turn left along Stangevej. Then follow the marked path. Today, the disused quarry is a little oasis with vertical rock walls. Gneiss is a striped, fine-grained rock consisting partly of quartz. Continue along cycle route 25 to the Almindingen forest, where you’ll find enough to see and do for a whole day. Before you get very deep into the forest your route turns off along cycle route 26, but you can take a detour to visit Ekkodalen, Gamleborg, Lilleborg or Rytterknægten. You can get a leaflet with a map of Almindingen from Bomholms Velkomstcenter, Ndr. Kystvej 3, Rønne, or from any other of the tourist offices on the island. When cycle route 26 reaches Sigtevej, follow this road back to Gudhjem. Sigtevej runs through Rø Plantation, where you’ll see trees, heather, rocks and beautiful fissure valleys. Do park your bike and take a walk around the artificial lake, where vertical rock walls rise out of the water. And then it’s back to Gudhjem, one of the island’s most attractive towns. Gudhjem*
Mountain Bike Routes 2,66 km Route 1 This 2.66-km MTB route starts at the highest point on Bornholm – from the car park at Rytterknægten. The route is one-way and signposted. Roughly 75% of the route is a single track on the forest floor, whereas the rest runs along old trails through trees and undergrowth. The track directly follows the slopes and inclines with natural obstacles like rocks and roots. The route is rated “medium difficult”, but this may vary depending on the current condition of the ground. 430 m Route 2 Downhill mountain-bike track. This is a technically challenging track for seasoned riders only! The track runs through 430 metres of very challenging terrain and down a slope in the middle of the forest, not far from a cross-country track. Needless to say, the entire track is one-way and its entire length is a single track running directly along the forest floor. There are many natural obstacles, such as protruding rocks, drop-offs from rocks and slopes, boardwalks for adventuresome bikers, not to mention an electrifying steep downward incline. This is definitely an extremely difficult route – and only for experienced mountain-bikers who are not afraid to let her rip! The course of the route is not marked out but is easy to follow – Bike helmet and safety gear are mandatory! http://veloroutes.org/r/72631 http://g.co/maps/zwk4h http://veloroutes.org/r/72632 http://g.co/maps/wawqh 33
