The Rocking Stone (Rokkestenen) is one of Bornholm’s most famous glacial erratics and a natural highlight on a hike through the Paradisbakkerne hills. The large boulder was once said to be movable, and although it no longer rocks, it remains an impressive sight in the rugged landscape.
The stone is surrounded by cliffs, woodland and rolling terrain, and is reached via the marked hiking trails that wind through Paradisbakkerne. The walk itself is an experience: the area features fissure valleys, heathland, rocky formations and quiet forest sections that make the route varied and atmospheric.
A visit to the Rocking Stone is ideal as part of a hike in Paradisbakkerne, combining one of the island’s notable natural landmarks with many other nature experiences along the way. And once you’re standing there, you might as well try your luck – perhaps you are the one strong enough to make the stone move, even just a little!
