Paradisbakkerne
Paradisbakkerne ( Paradise Hill ), also Helvedesbakkerne ( Hell Hill ), is a group of hills in the east of Bornholm Island . The area is about three kilometers northwest of Nexø , in the Hovedstaden region . The privately owned property is a hilly, rocky landscape with narrow moat zones, which are bordered by almost vertical rock walls. The hills usually rise 30 to 50 meters above the wooded area, which also has a number of small lakes and swamps. Midterpilt , 113 meters above sea level, is one of the highest points in the Paradisbakkerne. Although much of the area is now forested, it was once overgrown with heather and low shrubs, which made the area a good grazing area. The Paradisbakkerne have a long cultural history; to many places in the area, such as B. Slingestenen, Linkisten, Ligstenen, Dybedal, Ravnedal, Majdal and Gamle Dam, there are stories and legends
geography
The Paradisbakkerne rise above the eastern part of the Bornholm forest area. They extend over about 6200 hectares. The forest area of the Paradisbakkerne is ecologically diverse and has a diverse flora and fauna, including some rare amphibians and reptile species . There are many valleys in north-south direction, which give the entire area a hilly character. In addition to rift fractures, there is also numerous evidence of the last ice age such as boulders and ice age streaks. Piles of stones, which used to serve as landmarks and were visible from afar, are now surrounded by forest. Gamleborg is on the southern edge. The geological formation in the area is made of granite . Before the beginning of the 20th century, the landscape was covered with heather , shrubs and other small vegetation, but the area has been afforested since the 1930s.

A large part of the island has been afforested since the beginning of the 18th century. Sheep grazing is permitted by the Bornholm regional municipality in designated areas. The Paradisbakkerne have an extensive network of hiking trails. Visitors are allowed to walk on paths and trails between sunrise and sunset. There are also restrictions on construction work in and on residential and farmhouses within 150 meters of the wooded area.
