Pedersker: Audio Walk and Cycling Routes

You can use specific routes and local points of reference to help plan your trip to Pedersker. A free audio walk starts in the village, and a marked trail runs through a nearby forest. Pedersker is also located at the junction of two cycling routes. These features give you different ways to decide whether the village suits your interests for a trip to Bornholm.

Walking and cycling connections

The free audio walk on Pærskerstien starts in Pedersker and is available through the Sansâga Walks app. App availability may change, so it is best to check access in advance. For cycling directions, Pedersker is at the junction of cycling routes 10 and 24. Check the current route map and signposting before setting out on a cycling trip. These two details serve different planning purposes: Pærskerstien starts in the village, while the cycling routes connect Pedersker to the route network.

Nearby, a marked trail of about 1.5 km runs through the southern part of nearby Lynggårdsskoven. The forest is also known as Pedersker Skov and is Bornholm’s youngest state forest. When comparing walking options, consider their different points of reference: Pærskerstien starts in the village, while the marked trail is described by its approximate length and course through the forest.

Local features and the southern surroundings

Signs with texts in the Bornholm dialect are displayed in the Brugsen supermarket in Pedersker. South of Pedersker are a large holiday-home area and some of Bornholm’s best beaches. The signs offer a linguistic point of reference in the village, while the holiday-home area and beaches provide a glimpse of the southern surroundings. This can help you distinguish local points of reference from regional destinations when planning your trip.

Bornholm: Nature, culture and history

Bornholm brings together a variety of nature and culture. At the NaturBornholm experience centre, you can see dinosaurs, live crocodiles, an aquarium and a bison exhibition. The exhibitions may change over time. Ekkodalen in Almindingen is Bornholm’s largest rift valley. Together, the experience centre and its exhibition areas, and this geological formation, offer different points of interest.

Bornholms Middelaldercenter focuses on history: the 15-hectare open-air museum offers a vivid and interactive look at Bornholm in the 14th century. The date and interactive approach describe the museum’s subject and give you a clear idea of the period at its centre.

The viewpoints also offer different perspectives. Hammershus Visitor Centre offers a panoramic view of Hammershus. From the cliffs above Opal Lake, the view stretches across the surrounding area, the Baltic Sea and the Hammershus castle ruins. The first viewpoint looks towards Hammershus; the second also takes in the sea and the surrounding area.

The smoking tradition can be explored through two different aspects. Bornholm’s first smokehouse opened in Gudhjem in 1866, and herring has been smoked there ever since. Hasle Smokehouse is the last smokehouse on Bornholm where fish is smoked in the traditional way, using open chimneys and alder wood. Gudhjem is associated with the historic opening year, while Hasle is distinguished by its special smoking method.
