 Arnager from the island harbor |
|||||
Arnager is a small fishing village with 151 inhabitants (as of 2010) on the south coast of Bornholm , approx. 8 km south-east of Rønne and borders Bornholm Airport to the east .
In historical times, Arnager was the first village on Bornholm, whereas in the country there were only free farms.
The special feature of the village is the island harbor , built in 1883, with Denmark's longest wooden bridge of 200 meters. A measure against the silting up of a port near the beach. There are two island harbors on Bornholm , the other is in Snogebæk . Today the port is used by local fishermen and pleasure boaters.
In the coastal area there are 12–20 m thick limestone formations, the small-area Arnager limestone from the Upper Cretaceous .
Approx. In the mid-1990s, 1 km east of Arnager, dinosaur footprints were found in the dark clay soil , 25 to 45 cm in size and 15 to 30 cm deep.
On the northern edge of the village is the passage grave of Arnager from the Younger Stone Age (about 3200-3000).
