Helligdomsklipperne
A 22-meter granite sea cliff on the northeast coast, with sea caves and rock pillars, once a medieval pilgrimage site.
Helligdomsklipperne is a roughly 1-km stretch of granite coastal cliff, with sea caves, stone pillars and rock fissures. The spring beside one of the caves was once believed to have healing powers, and in medieval times people came on pilgrimage on the eve of Midsummer, which is how the place got its name. Paths and steps run along the clifftop and below it, letting you walk down to the seaside rocks to watch the waves. In summer, boat trips from Gudhjem also view the cliffs from the sea. It is next to the Bornholm Art Museum and free to visit. It is about a 1-hour walk from Gudhjem along the coastal path.
