Sose
Sose is a scenic area, far from the typical tourist destinations where large numbers of people gather during the summer months. The area is located between Boderne and Arnager on Bornholm’s south-west coast.
In the area, visitors can for example explore Sose Bay, which has a pleasant beach with interesting geology as well as a dramatic history. In 1678, no fewer than 18 Swedish warships were wrecked here, and around 1,000 people lost their lives in what is considered the largest shipwreck disaster in Danish history.
The disused Skelbro Limestone Quarry, which has been in use since as far back as the Middle Ages, is a geological point of interest. Visitors may be fortunate enough to find fossils of, among other things, trilobites and graptolites. The area is protected, and it is therefore forbidden to hammer in the limestone, but fossils found in loose limestone blocks at the bottom of the quarry may be kept.
From Skelbro Limestone Quarry, it is possible to walk along Risebækken all the way to the coast and experience Risebækken Waterfall, a small but interesting waterfall in a scenic natural setting.
The area around Sose is also where the major project Energiø Bornholm plans to locate the onshore facility to be established as part of the project. Bornholms Museum has an exhibition about Energiø Bornholm, providing further insight into the plans.
