The fish smokehouse is highly recommended!

Hammerfyr is the oldest lighthouse on Bornholm. This imposing structure stands on the Hammer granite massif at the northern tip of the island. The lighthouse was built from the same granite rock from the vast Hammeren plateau on which it stands, offering visitors an impressive sight. Because of its massive construction, it is also called Store Fyr, or Big Lighthouse. The round lighthouse was put into operation in 1871. Shortly after its construction, it became clear that the lighthouse's location was not optimal. Low-hanging clouds and fog made it temporarily unusable for shipping. So, in 1895, it was decided to build the smaller Hammerodde Fyr lighthouse directly at the tip of Hammer. Even today, it is clearly visible where the workers excavated the granite blocks to build Hammerfyr near the lighthouse. The Kristalsøen rainwater lake has since formed there. The Hammerfyr measures an impressive 21 meters high. Standing on the lighthouse's observation deck, visitors are 91 meters above sea level, as the Hammerknuden plateau rises a proud 70 meters from the Baltic Sea. When visibility is good, visitors are treated to a unique view extending all the way to the southern coast of Sweden. But it's not just the view out over the Baltic Sea that's worth seeing. The island of Bornholm is also a wonderful sight from the Hammerfyr observation deck. To the south, there's a fantastic view of northern Bornholm beyond the Hammershus castle ruins. The Hammerfyr's Fresnal lens is hand-ground and was once imported from France. Today, the Hammerfyr is no longer in active service. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1990 due to its poor location. Shortly thereafter, it was handed over to the Nature Conservation Agency. The tower is now operated by the owners at their own expense. However, it is no longer relevant for boat trips around the Baltic Sea island. Visiting the observation deck is free. At the northern tip of the Danish island of Ærø, there is a lighthouse of the same design: Skjoldnæs Lighthouse. It was also built from Bornholm granite. https://www.bornholm-ferien.de/leuchttuerme-bornholm.php

Hammerodde Fyr is also called "little fire" or "Lille Fyr" in reference to its big brother Hammerfyr and stands on the northernmost point of the island of Bornholm. It is an integral part and a popular photo subject on the so-called "Hammertour" around the northern tip of Bornholm. Hammerodde Fyr was built as a complement to Hammerfyr and was put into operation in 1895. Compared to Hammerfyr, Hammerodde Fyr has a much better location, as it stands directly on the northern tip of the island. The white lighthouse with a red roof and square base has its own marine weather station. Since 1939, its light has also been supplemented by a radio beacon. All of the island's towers can also be controlled electronically from this lighthouse. This tower is not open to the public. The fire height is 21 meters, the structure height is 12 meters. The lighthouse can be seen from 18 nautical miles away. https://www.bornholm-ferien.de/leuchttuerme-bornholm.php

Northern Europe's largest castle ruin towers on a steep rock at the northern tip of Bornholm.

What a beautiful gravel path! It doesn't get any better than this.

Take a break and look at the sculptures.

The wobbly rock wobbles best when you stand on it.
