Vestermarie Plantage

Vestermarie Plantage

The western part of Almindingen, with the gallows hill, the glacial erratic and the stone ship field.

Vestermarie Plantage is a forest area on Bornholm. It is part of Almindingen. The forest is a popular excursion destination for both hikers and cyclists, as it offers beautiful nature trails and a varied landscape with both forest, heath and open areas.

Vestermarie Plantage is known for its rich wildlife, and there is the opportunity to spot both birds and small animals. It is also a place where you can find several traces of the historical use of the area, including old stone ship fields and burial grounds, the most popular of which is the gallows hill from the early Bronze Age.

The forest is generally a peaceful and scenic place, which attracts both nature lovers and people seeking peace and relaxation from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

When approaching from Springbakkevejen and parking at Springbakkehus, you can walk west and enjoy the rich birdlife in Udkæret almost all year round. A well-functioning observation tower has been built close to the bog. In connection with this, a large shelter area has been established - even with a well-functioning outdoor toilet.
