Route 10 - Round Bornholm<br />
Svaneke - Dueodde 3. Stage<br />
20,1 km<br />
Near Vigehavn, Svaneke<br />
20,1 km asphalt · 0 km gravel<br />
Svaneke - Nexø: 9,6 km<br />
Just outside Svaneke on the Nexø road by a little natural<br />
dinghy harb<strong>our</strong> you’ll find Svaneke lighthouse. On<br />
the other side of the lighthouse is Hullehavn, the locals’<br />
bathing beach, complete with springboard, bathing<br />
jetty, an area for small children and a little ice-cream<br />
kiosk called “Hullehavn Storcenter” (Hullehavn Shopping<br />
Centre).<br />
Bornholm’s second-largest town, Nexø boasts the<br />
island’s largest fishing harb<strong>our</strong>, where fishing boats<br />
from all over Denmark bring their catch to supply the<br />
town’s fish processing industry. A shipyard, a net<br />
maker’s and other businesses around the harb<strong>our</strong><br />
service the fishing boats and other vessels. Up in the<br />
town square, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.<br />
Along with market days, the town square is also the<br />
centre for the summer Baltic Jazz Festival and other<br />
entertainments.<br />
Nexø - Dueodde: 10,5 km<br />
Balka Beach is a long and popular bathing beach sheltered<br />
from the prevailing westerly summer wind. Known<br />
for its warm, child friendly shallows, you have to wade<br />
out a long way if you want to swim in deep water. The<br />
beach begins at Snogebæk with its many shops and<br />
restaurants, and ends at Balka where you’ll find toilets,<br />

a kiosk, mini-golf and good parking. Lifeguards are on<br />
duty at the beach during high season, and you can hire<br />
water cycles, windsurfing equipment and deckchairs.<br />
The sand at Dueodde is ultra-fine and inviting. The<br />
water is clear and clean and there are many sandbars,<br />
so there is both shallow and deep water close to the<br />
shore. The beach extends for several kilometres either<br />
side of the southern tip of the island. A more than<br />
500-metre long ramp, running from the large main<br />
car park in the wood down between the dunes, means<br />
that you can take y<strong>our</strong> bike with you onto the beautiful<br />
beach. A visit to the top of the lighthouse will<br />
take most people’s breath away - both because of the<br />
number steps involved and because of the marvellous<br />
view that takes in the coast area and the whole of<br />
southern Bornholm.<br />
