Walking around Ekkodalen, you pass the remains of the 12th-century castle ruins. By building it, the Danish king wanted to assert his own claim to Bornholm against Hammershus Castle, from which the powerful Archbishop Eskil of Lund ruled most of the island. Although Lilleborg was considerably smaller, it was more defensible than Gamleborg. Possible builders include Sven III Grathe, Knut V Magnusson, or Valdemar I the Great, who reigned from 1157 to 1182. Coins from the latter two have been found. The power struggle between church and king also led to the destruction of the castle: in 1259, Prince Jaromar II of Rügen came to the aid of Archbishop Jakob Erlandsen, who had been imprisoned by King Christopher I, and burned Lilleborg down. However, coins dating from this period have been found, suggesting that the castle was inhabited even after its destruction. (Wikipedia)

A beautiful bike path through the forest, paved but littered with leaves. However, it's easily doable on a road bike.

One of the four round churches on the island. It is estimated to have been built around the year 1200.

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

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

Along the coast between Gudhjem and Svaneke you get a spectacular view while cycling. In the best days, you can even see the islands of Ertholmene, Christiansø and Frederiksø.

What an "up and down", brilliant ramps with little traffic. :-)
