Jons Kapel, Cave entrance near Hasle, Denmark

Located on Bornholm's west coast, Jons Kapel features a 41-meter-high granite cliff containing multiple caves facing the Baltic Sea.

The cave system earned its name from a monk named Jon who spread Christianity by delivering sermons from this location to local inhabitants.

The caves within the cliff formation include spaces named after their presumed functions: Jon's bedroom, dining room, and food cellar.

Visitors need to descend 172 steps from the parking area at Jons Kapelvej 4 to reach the caves and shoreline below.

The cliffs consist of Vang granite, shaped by ancient sea levels that were higher than present, creating this natural formation.
