Hiking

The route takes you through the Almindingen forest. Go through the valley, Ekkodalen, and up the steep stairs into the forest on the opposite side. Then follow the blue markings on mostly wide forest paths until you see the iconic tower, Rytterknægten, on the horizon. This is Bornholm's highest point, 162 meters above sea level.

The path is in relatively good condition and leads primarily over wooden walkways. You can park at Ekkodalshuset or Rytterknægten.

Ekkodalen Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The Ekkodalen is a split valley in Almindingen. It is known for its echo when calling against the vertical rock faces. Hardly a hiker can take this fun.

The Rytterknægten is Bornholm's highest mountain at 162 meters (53 ft). On its summit stands a viewing tower, the Kongemindet. The metal construction was erected afterwards, after the surrounding forest had outgrown the tower.

It was an afternoon walk in the beautiful (beech) forest. The stone wall is impressive.
If there are fluffy doughnuts and good coffee at the highest point of Bornholm, everything is perfect.
