Walking on the sun … Island: the coastal path of Bornholm

I did not have the best dream, spinning and turning, too much in tune with the whispered in the forest, but finally I must have moved away. I woke up with the light, but at this point I was so cozy that I slept until 7. I am normally awake at 6 during the work week, so I enjoyed a longer lie and the luxury of walking as the only thing in my list of homework. I ate my gaps for breakfast, unfortunately I had failed in my proportion of water to oatmeal, so it was a little more like oatmeal soup, I packed my bag and swept the shelter, ready for the next guests. Then I left and oh, what tomorrow! Everything one could desire on a path. Soft morning light, some elevation to bring you drugged on the cliffs, the sun and the sea in all directions; The forest paths with the trees just begin to turn, the crunchy aroma of the dry leaves mixed with that of the salt and the sea.

Starting to feel like autumn

In the case of excess energy, the path offers lateral roads by steep wood stairs from the cliffs back to sea level, with a myriad of caves, caves and legends that accompany, including the Kapel de Jon (the jon chapel), a series of rocks and rock formations where it is said that a missionary is said to have resided and resided and that it resided and that it resided and that it resided and resided of rock I spent practically all this, I left my backpack at the top of the stairs and explore the rock pools underneath.

Search secondary to the caves

I stopped in Vang’s small fishing village to fill my water. Particularly leaving the cities, already measured the day, many more people were now on day walks. There are so many paths on this island! One could spend weeks exploring them all. The path serpent beyond the ruins of Hammershus Castle: I had previously been in these ruins, so I lost this time, but if you have not yet been in Bornholm, the castle is a must.

Approaching Hammershus Castle

At this point, the path had left the forest and was now on a crest exposed throughout the force of the sun and was hot hot. But beautiful and deep blue skies meet a deeper blue ocean.

I paused for a snack to the ruins of the Solomon and holy chapel well that comes out at the first 14^th century. The paths have an extremely exhaustive series of information publications, which tells the history of the island and the relevance of certain places of interest. For the most part, they are written in Danish, German and English so accessible to non -local ones.

I reached the northernmost point of the island, marked by Hammerodde Fyr (Hammer Odde Lighthouse) at noon.

By folding the corner of the island, I received a fresh breeze and stopped for lunch, grateful for a heat break. Shortly after, the path passes through the city of Sandvig and then there. If I returned to Bornholm, it would take the time to explore these picturesque cities of the port of the North, there seemed to many things, good restaurants, elegant hotels, shops, museums. I stopped at the Allinge Harbor for a local ice cream Bornholm, but after having finished, I continued on my way. Just passing.

While the path is well marked from the cities, at the time it reaches the road to the city, the entire signage disappears. As a good general rule, keep as close as possible to the coast when walking through the city and, finally, the signs return. Around Allinge, the property of the Ocean front took a precedent on the path and the coastal road followed the way somehow. Going through the city of Tejn was the same, and the road walking here was quite extensive. At first there was no sidewalk wide, and soon a separate bicycle route allowed a bit of separation of cars. As the road progresses, this was not so bad, the road was not so busy and after a few kilometers, the path returned to a magnificent forest path, either at the top of the cliffs or falling directly next to the sea. I had my first animal meetings (apart from farm animals, many sheep, cows, even donkeys), a hedgehog and a weasel. And birds! So many birds. And butterflies in all colors.

Sheep!

The water site in which he had planned to fill was unexpectedly closed and had a brief moment of panic. Fortunately, the next public bath that I had not seen on the map was open. The night was approaching, so I filled my water stash again, and the food had presented my dinner. A steep descent on tired legs (although today I had made 17 miles of official paths, with all my lateral explorations, Garmin informed me that I had made 21 miles), then I arrived at the place of primitive tent Salenebugten, a few steps from a rocky beach and slightly protected from the wind. I configured my store and jumped at sea. After a hot day of walking through the sea he felt like heaven. I had dinner on a rock on the beach, the only person for what thousands looked like.

Dinner with my Nalgene, Talenti Jar and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups 🙂
