Local tips
- Wear sturdy footwear as trails can be rocky and uneven, especially after rain.
- Bring binoculars for birdwatching; peregrine falcons and sea eagles are sometimes spotted here.
- Pack a snack or picnic, as facilities are limited and the natural surroundings are ideal for a peaceful outdoor meal.
- Visit in the early morning or late evening for solitude and the best chance of seeing deer or foxes.
Getting There
-
Public Transport
Frequent buses run from Rønne, the island’s main hub, toward Allinge or Sandvig in the north. Disembark at Vang or Allinge, where the coastal woods of Slotslyngen are signposted and a short walk from the bus stop. Single fares on Bornholm buses range from 24–32 DKK for adults. During summer, services run more often, but always check schedules as evening options are reduced.
-
Taxi
A taxi from central Rønne to the Slotslyngen woodland area takes about 30–40 minutes, passing through the rolling countryside and offering glimpses of the North Bornholm cliffs. The fare typically ranges from 350–500 DKK one way for up to four passengers.
-
Driving/Parking
Ample free parking can be found near the marked trailheads in the vicinity of Vang and Hammershus, adjacent to the Slotslyngen woods. The scenic drive from Rønne takes 30–40 minutes. Note that some car parks, especially closest to Hammershus in peak months, fill quickly by midday.
-
Cycling
The island’s well-maintained cycle paths connect Rønne to Allinge and Sandvig, with the final leg passing through open farmland before entering the shaded trails of Slotslyngen. Plan for a leisurely 1–1.5 hour ride from Rønne, depending on stops and wind conditions. Expect gentle hills along the way; rental bikes are widely available from Rønne and major resort towns.
