Trad Climbing Bornholm


From our nice week in Sweden we travelled towards Denmark for Trad Climbing. Climbing in Denmark??? Yes it true, you can climb in Denmark! Even trad climbing. The special place to be is Bornholm, a small island on the eastern side. We already arranged our topo upfront and looked forward to Bornholm on the Rocks. We visited several crags, from quarries to coastal climbing. Although we had our boulder crash pad with us time was too limited.

Crags that we visited; Møselukken, Hammeren bruddet, Vang Bruddet and Randkløve.

Trad Climbing Bohuslän


This summer vacation we decided to drive an opposite direction than the usual way going south.


We decided to go North and make a small Scandinavian Tour to do some Trad climbing in Sweden and Denmark. With the very busy weeks behind us, we needed a relaxing stop in Denmark before going to Sweden. We had two good resting days around the Danish coast and visited Trelleborg the ancient Viking Fortress. To our surprise that week a big Viking Festival was going on with all people in ancient clothes and living in Viking tents. It was a wonderful atmosphere with a fantastic war battle on the open field with great sunny weather.

We arrived in Sweden in Bohuslän area and drove around to find a place to camp. We found a nice place at Häller at a farm spot just next to the crag with superb view into the valley. The cows where our nabors. From here we drove to crags that we selected.
