Flagermusehuset

The Bat House (Flagermusehuset) is the Danish Nature Agency’s information centre dedicated to bats, located in Rø Plantation near Gudhjem. The centre occupies a renovated thatched forest building, where a colony of long-eared bats lives in the attic. On the ground floor, a small exhibition explains the bats’ behaviour, ecology and importance in nature, and an infrared camera allows visitors to observe their activity without disturbing them.

Bornholm is one of Denmark’s most important areas for bats and is home to most of the country’s species. The Bat House therefore serves as an ideal starting point for learning about the island’s unique wildlife. A short nature trail begins at the house, offering a chance to experience the surrounding forest and the habitats bats depend on.

The Bat House is unstaffed, open year-round and free to visit.
