On Bornholm, you can head into nature, feel history beneath your feet and search for traces of a distant past.

Saturday 19 September, 10 am–12 noon: Fossil Hunt at Risebæk – Bornholm’s wild past and most beautiful waterfall.

Join an experience-filled walk along Risebæk, where Bornholm’s dramatic nature holds stories reaching back millions of years. We will find shale with graptolites, visit what many call the island’s most beautiful waterfall, and search for fossils in 490-million-year-old marine deposits.
