Hasle Røgeri

Traditional smokehouse craftsmanship at Hasle Røgeri

On Bornholm’s west coast lies Hasle Røgeri, where smoke still rises through open chimneys just as it has for generations. As the last smokehouse on Bornholm to continue smoking fish using traditional methods with alder wood and open chimneys, it remains a living piece of the island’s cultural heritage.

Here, guests can experience the smokehouse craft up close as herring and other fish are prepared and smoked according to long-standing traditions. The scent of smoke, the historic smokehouse buildings and the proximity to the sea create an atmosphere that brings to mind a time when smokehouses were a natural part of life along the coast.

At the same time, Hasle Røgeri is a place with room for everyone. Families can enjoy their meal while children play, and both locals and visitors gather around the popular fish buffet and the smokehouse’s specialities in welcoming surroundings. At Hasle Røgeri, history is not merely told – it can be seen, smelled and tasted.
