Hammershus Castle Ruins

An incredible ruin and must visit if you love history. Compared to the entire castle in its glory times, there is actually much of the stone base preserved. The strategic position of the castle makes for beautiful panoramic views all around (it's high up a cliff) and there are several hiking routes that go past and through the castle as well. Although the shop next to the castle closes, the castle never does and so it could be an amazing place to visit in early morning or late night too. I could not stop taking foto's of this place.

An easy walk leads you to the ruins. Guides in traditional dress bring the Middle Ages to life in the ruins of a once mighty castle.

For history and building lovers. Amazing view! Not for lazy people - you have to walk a bit 🙃

Great Danish castle, a must see!

It was a long and partly uphill bike ride from Rønne but it was totally worth it. These ruins are nearly breathtaking from far away. Inside the ruins looking out to the sea, makes one think of what it might have been like when it was a functioning fortress. Museum and cafe are excellent as well. It is of course possible to drive there but the biking, while hard, was beautiful mostly following the coast. No tickets needed. It is free.

It is just the ruins of an old castle but the place is very lovely! Perfect to come with families, children, dogs, babies, everyone. There is also a coffee shop just by the castle with a very good structure like toilets, tables and chairs for the restaurant and everything. There is also a paying parking lot just by the coffee (35dkk physical card or cash/coins) and ramps everywhere so I guess is accessible (some ramps are like small stones, not really a "road" but I saw many babies troller).

What an impressive ruins! They are still quite in tact and are great to wander through and explore. In the winter, the info centre is not open, but you can still walk up to and around the castle. There are great coastal views and you are actually quite high up! There are information signs around, so you do learn a bit. Enjoy the many view points and benches where you can sit to take it all in. There are a number of sections fenced off at the moment, but everything is still very accessible. I really enjoyed exploring this area!

We went here during the sunset in February and it was very beautiful. The ruins are cool and the view from the hill is gorgeous. You can get here by bus but you will have to wait a long time if you want to go back on the next bus.
