Bike tour Bornholm: Melsted - Aakirkeby
StavehøI Waterfall is located a few meters from the bike path. StavehøI is an 8 m high and 2 m wide rock gap in which the water of the river falls down. It is not Bornholm's highest waterfall, on the other hand it has a drop of 3 m - a beautiful sight.

You can experience Gamleborg, Lilleborg, the world's smallest race track, Rokkestenen, the knight - or just go and cycle several trips on small and big tracks.
Aakirkebys history is about culture, church and power, because here You can find Bornholms oldest church - the great Aa Church. It was built in the 12th century and was the center of the ecclesiastical domination of Bornholm in the following centuries. The island's county councils were adjacent to the church until 1776.
