Hammeren, Protected area in Bornholm, Denmark

Hammeren extends into the Baltic Sea at the northernmost point of Bornholm island, featuring granite cliffs rising 84 meters above sea level.

The area contains numerous Bronze Age rock carvings near Madsebakke and Hammersholm, revealing early human settlements and religious practices from ancient times.

Salomons Chapel, constructed in the early 1300s, served as a central point for trade connections between Bornholm and major Hanseatic cities like Hamburg.

The protected zone offers multiple walking trails connecting Sandvig to Hammershus Slot, with paths leading to the Hammeren lighthouse at the northern tip.

Hammersø, the largest lake on Bornholm island, stands as Denmark's only tarn, surrounded by a landscape of granite formations and numerous caves.
