Lilleborg
The 12th-century royal castle ruins on a lakeside hill in Almindingen Forest, burned down in 1259.
Lilleborg was a castle built by a 12th-century Danish king in the centre of the island. It stood on a rocky knoll in the forest, surrounded by lake water. After the Prince of Rügen led a force that burned it in 1259, it was abandoned. Today only the foundations of the walls and some stretches of stone remain, shaded by trees with the lake for company, making it a quiet, peaceful spot. Admission is free, and it's about a 10-minute walk from the car park. You can visit it on the way to Echo Valley and the Bison Forest.
