Kanonstilling G3: Bornholm’s WWII Coastal Fortress
Step inside Bornholm’s wartime past at Kanonstilling G3, a striking WWII German coastal gun battery preserved on Nexø’s windswept eastern edge.
Kanonstilling G3, set on the outskirts of Nexø, is a well-preserved World War II-era German coastal gun battery. Visitors encounter imposing concrete bunkers, interpretable signage, and often, the eerie silence that embodies the island’s wartime past. The site stands testament to Bornholm’s strategic significance and invites all with an interest in military history or architectural relics to explore its labyrinthine fortifications, observation posts, and remnant weaponry overlooking the Baltic Sea.

Local tips
- Bring a flashlight for exploring the interior bunkers, which are otherwise unlit and can be pitch dark inside.
- The grassy paths can be uneven and slippery after rain; sturdy shoes are highly recommended.

- Ideal for early risers: the sunrise views over the Baltic from the gun platform can be spectacular.
Getting There
-
Driving
From the island’s main central hub in Rønne, chart a scenic drive eastward across Bornholm. As you approach the outskirts of Nexø, the landscape flattens and the Baltic Sea opens up ahead. Signage for historical sites and the presence of wide parking areas indicate you are near Kanonstilling G3. Parking is ample and free at the site, making access straightforward for drivers.

Public Transport
Buses from Rønne and larger Bornholm towns run toward Nexø throughout the day. Upon alighting at Nexø’s central bus stop, the walk to Kanonstilling G3 is mostly flat and navigable, ~15–20 minutes through neighborhoods transitioning to open ground. Standard bus fares on Bornholm are typically 24–36 DKK for a single ride.
-
Cycling
Bornholm’s dedicated cycling paths make for a relaxed, picturesque ride from Rønne or central areas. The approach to Nexø features scenic coastal views and minimal elevation changes. Bike parking is available just outside the bunkers, and the area remains quiet outside peak summer months.

A taxi from Rønne’s center or the Bornholm ferry terminal covers the ~30-minute journey directly to Kanonstilling G3’s entrance. Expect prices in the range of 350–400 DKK, varying by traffic and demand.
