Into Nature – The Wetlands of Ekkodalen. A walk with Morten DD Hansen and Michael Stoltze
In 2020, the major restoration of Ekkodalen’s wetlands and meadows was completed, and a remarkable variety of plant and animal life is now beginning to establish itself.
We visit the area and talk about how nature can be restored on former agricultural land – something Denmark will need to become exceptionally good at if the ambition of protecting 30% of its natural areas is to be achieved.
The two highly experienced biologists, Morten DD Hansen and Michael Stoltze, have extensive experience with nature restoration projects. They will explain how nature can return after centuries, or perhaps even millennia, of farming, and we will see what has already been achieved in the wetlands of Ekkodalen after just a few years of restoration work.
Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for the weather and terrain. If the weather is particularly severe, the event will be cancelled and the participation fee refunded. Any cancellation will be announced on our website and on NaturBornholm’s website.
Participation fee: DKK 90

Fungi are fascinating. They can be microscopically small or spread across more than 9 km². They are found in forests, in our homes, in food – and even in your own body! Come and explore the remarkable world of fungi. Using a stereo microscope and a microscope, we will examine small fungi and lichens. We will also talk about the role fungi play in nature and how they are used in medicine, cosmetics, cooking and construction.

How do we know that dinosaurs, plesiosaurs or trilobites lived on Bornholm millions of years ago, and how do we find traces of them? We will talk about the fascinating prehistoric animals that we know only from fossils and about how fossils are formed. Using real fossils as inspiration, you can shape your own prehistoric animal in a material from the past – clay – and then make a plaster cast of it to take home.

– Christmas lights, festive atmosphere and cosy wooden stalls at Nexø Harbour
As darkness settles over Nexø Harbour, the Christmas lights come on and the small wooden stalls fill with life, festive scents and the warm atmosphere of a Bornholm Christmas. Bornholm Christmas Market returns in 2026, bringing Christmas cheer to the harbour throughout the Advent season.
Wander among the decorated Christmas stalls, where local Bornholm producers, craftspeople, associations and other local contributors welcome visitors. Find inspiration for Christmas gifts, taste local treats and perhaps discover something a little different from what you would normally find beneath the Christmas tree.
But Bornholm Christmas Market is just as much about the atmosphere itself. The scent of Christmas, a warm drink held in cold hands, lights glowing in the winter darkness and that special feeling that comes when people gather and Christmas slowly draws closer.
The market spreads its Christmas cheer across 15 opening days from the end of November until 22 December. The four Advent weekends form the heart of the market, with different activities and experiences along the way, giving you plenty of reasons to visit more than once.
On Thursday, 10 December, Nexø becomes even more festive when Hjerternes Fest is celebrated together with the rest of the town.
Bring your family or friends, wrap up warmly and enjoy a December day at Nexø Harbour filled with Christmas lights, cosy stalls and plenty of Bornholm Christmas spirit.
Admission to Bornholm Christmas Market is free.
