Svaneke
Denmark's easternmost town. Its old town, with yellow walls and red roofs, won a European architectural heritage award, and it is home to candy makers, breweries and food shops.
Svaneke is Denmark's easternmost town. Its old town preserves merchants' houses and fishermen's cottages from the 18th and 19th centuries. The uniform yellow walls and red-tiled roofs won the European Architectural Heritage Gold Award in 1975. Around the square are the handmade candy shop Svaneke Bolcher, where you can watch the candy being pulled by hand, the Svaneke Brewery, smokehouses, and pottery and glass workshops. You can swim from the rocks at the harbour. The town's tall water tower, shaped like an inverted pyramid, was designed by Jørn Utzon. The drive from Rønne takes about 40 minutes.
