Døndalen

Within the valley lies Denmark's tallest waterfall, measuring 20 meters in height and flowing down multiple rocky levels through dense forest terrain.

The Danish Nature Foundation acquired 37 hectares of Døndalen in 1969, establishing it as a protected conservation area for future generations.

The name Døndalen originates from the Bornholm dialect, where 'dønner' refers to the large volumes of water flowing during spring season.

Visitors can access the waterfall via a 1-kilometer path from the parking area at Søndre Strandvej 144 in Gudhjem, with facilities available.

The valley floor transforms each spring with carpets of white wood anemones and wild garlic before the tree canopy develops its full foliage.
