After the cruise to Christianso, the next stop on your route is sterlars where you can admire the biggest and probably oldest among round churches. In the lower part it houses a chapel, and in the higher a fortress. Most attractive in the church is a six-metre-wide pillar with a font inside and 14th century frescos on its walls.
Going further south you will enter northern part of the Almindingen forest in which you should visit the Bastenmosen lake and a very famous long trunk with seven trees growing from it. Now you are changing direction to the East and going to the Paradisbakkerne forest. The name could be translated into English as Paradise Hills and the area is really worth its name. The landscape is beautiful. Among many places to see there you should not omit Rokkesten - a huge erratic block and Gamleborg - ruins of a medieval city. On your way to Svaneke, you should stop for a while in Arsdale - a little village with many smoke-houses and a working windmill.
Svaneke is the easternmost point of Bornholm. The city is often called "the sunshine town" as it has most hours of sunshine of all Denmark. It is famous for the best state of preservation of its architecture. Places you should see are a church dating back to 1350, Stubmolle windmill (1737), the biggest traditional on the island smoke-house and the Pernille Bulow glass works where you can even try to make your own vase.
