Paradisbakkerne, known as the 'Hills of Paradise,' is a protected area on the Danish island of Bornholm, celebrated for its rugged hills and unique geological formations.
Paradisbakkerne is located on the eastern side of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic Sea. It is characterized by rocky hills and scenic valleys, created by the movement of glaciers during the last Ice Age. This picturesque landscape supports a wide range of flora and fauna, making it an excellent location for birdwatching and nature walks. The area is steeped in myth and history; ancient legends add a fascinating cultural layer to the natural beauty. Key recreational opportunities include hiking, cycling, and exploring prehistoric stone formations, such as the 'Rokkestenen,' a massive boulder that can be rocked back and forth with a bit of effort. The hills provide stunning views, and various trails are available for different skill levels, appealing to both casual walkers and serious hikers.
