Bornholm (Denmark)

Plant recordings in June and July 2024

by Rutger Barendse and Jeroen Willemsen 

Wild flowers in the Baltic Sea


Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic sea, has long been on Rutgers’ bucket list. Despite its proximity to Sweden, Poland, and Germany, it is rather surprising that Bornholm is actually Danish territory. Throughout its turbulent history, this situation has changed several times, but nowadays Bornholm is part of Denmark. That means: paying with Euros is impossible, and the local language is almost incomprehensible.

Bornholm looked promising for a Botanical Journey. We were already familiar with many of the plant species, so we set an ambitious goal: to find 750 different plant species on the island. It seemed like a challenging yet achievable objective. With that in mind, we traveled to the north of Germany to catch a ferry to Bornholm.

Report of this BotanicalJourney


29 and 30 June: The German island Rügen (Google map)

The ferry departed from the island of Rügen, so we first set up our tent in the vicinity of a German town called Binz. This experience was somewhat surreal for several reasons. First, a massive thunderstorm unleashed itself above our tents during the night, flooding parts of the campsite. Nevertheless, the next morning —still far from dry— we decided to explore the dunes near Prora. Prora, originally intended as a holiday resort by the former Nazi regime, was built in the 1930s but had long been neglected. Recently, a significant portion of the complex (originally spanning 4.5 kilometers) has been renovated and now serves as a hotel and holiday apartments.That was the second surreal aspect of the location.

Echium vulgare As we walked through the woods surrounding the building, which sits adjacent to the beach, we encountered several open sandy areas. In the narrow strip of dunes we recorded various plant species like Elymus athericus, Artemisia campestris subsp. maritima, Epipactis helleborine subsp. neerlandica and Jasione montana. The grassy fields near the Prora-building clearly were poor in nutrients and provided species like Knautia arvensis, Echium vulgare (see picture), Pimpinella saxifraga and Thymus pulegioides. Quite similar was the vegetation on an derelict parking area, where we found Trifolium striatum,  Berteroa incana and Linum austriacum as well.

Tragopogon pratensis Further north lies a large flint field known as “Schmale Heide.” This forest strip grows along parallel rubble walls formed by flint stones that were once washed up on the Baltic Sea beach. Nowadays they form a dry heathland with Calluna vulgaris, Juniperus communis and Empetrum nigrum. In this somewhat otherworldly environment, we recorded Petrorhagia prolifera, Genista pilosa, Tragopogon arvensis (see picture) and Teucrium scorodonia. In the surrounding forests we found species like Rosa multiflora, Brachypodium sylvaticum and Convallaria majalis. Fortunately, the rain stopped around midday.

We made a brief stop in the Mukran harbor area. We arrived a little early at the ferry terminal and spent our time exploring a deserted road within the harbor. This turned out to be a successful choice: many plants were present, although they were all common species. For example, we recorded Scorzoneroides autumnalis, Lathyrus pratensis and Malva moschata at this location. Needless to say, the German species mentioned do not count toward our Danish Bornholm list.


30 June, 1 July and 4 July: Teglkåsvej (Google map)

Centaurea scabiosa After settling into a holiday home north of a town called Hasle on Bornholm’s west coast, we decided to take a stroll along the coast towards Teglkås. The sun had finally emerged, casting a pleasant golden hue over the surroundings in the early evening. The sunset, framed by the impressive clouded sky, was a beautiful sight. During our walk, we began compiling our Bornholm plant list, starting with more common species. The most conspicuous species were Centaurea scabiosa (see picture), Allium scorodoprasum and Tragopogon pratensis. On the pebble beach we recorded species like Crambe maritima and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Next to a house, we noticed a small stream with Circaea x intermedia growing in it. Rutger jumped down to capture photos of this species. A man with his dog curiously observed Rutger, saying “Hej”, then turned and left without further communication. It marked our first direct encounter with a Danish local.

Berteroa incana In total, we identified 154 different plant species on that first evening in Bornholm. The next morning, we added additional species to our list—plants growing alongside the road in front of our holiday home. On the evening of July 4th, we retraced part of the same route. Instead of turning right at the sea, we then followed a cycle path to the left, where we recorded additional species like Anthemis arvensis, Aphanes arvensis and Berteroa incana (see picture).


1 July: Deciduous forest at Slotslyngen (Google map)

As we drove north from Hasle, we noticed small ponds and streams nestled within a forest primarily composed of Quercus petraea and Carpinus betulus. We followed the tracks through the forest, recording the presence of some typical forest plants such as Melampyrum pratense, Oxalis acetosella, Circaea lutetiana, Convallaria majalis and Stellaria holostea.

Sparganium emersumEventually, we arrived at a damp, grassy field. A few cows were grazing in parts of the field, but they left ample space for us to explore and look for more plants. At times, our exploration was hindered as certain areas of the field were excessively wet. Despite this, we managed to document several marshy plants like Ranunculus flammula, Ranunculus sceleratus, Juncus conglomeratus and Bidens cernua in this area. There were also many sedges present, like Carex vesicaria, Carex rostrata and Carex canescens. Across the road, we traced a small stream that meandered through the forest. This turned out to be a delightful detour as we discovered large quantities of Phegopteris connectilis flourishing here. In a pond further downstream we recorded Potamogeton natans, Sparganium emersum (see picture) and Sparganium natans.


1 July: Sandvig (Google map)

Carex extensa One of our objectives for the day was to visit the northernmost part of Bornholm, near the town of Sandvig. Regrettably, Sandvig turned out to be a tourist hotspot, and the exact route we had planned was also a popular choice among tourists. Initially, we meandered through the village, documenting several plant species, some of which were clearly escapees from gardens, such as Campanula poscharskyana, Centranthus ruber and Syringa vulgaris. Subsequently, we followed the coastline for a while. It was fascinating to observe plants from saline environments growing adjacent to freshwater species. For instance, we recorded Triglochin maritima, Glaux maritima, Carex extensa (see picture) and Honckenya peploides but also Persicaria maculosa, Medicago lupulina and Senecio sylvaticus.

Trifolium fragifera At the coast we initially followed the path northwards, but soon we noticed wet grassy fields down at the shoreline. We descended to inspect these fields, which turned out to be quite spectacular! We discovered species like Trifolium fragiferum (see picture), Centaurium littorale, Linum catharticum and Dactylorhiza maculata. Some of the orchids were still in bloom. Without a doubt, the flowers of Lotus maritimus were the most captivating in the vicinity. There were also numerous sedges, like Carex trinervis, C. distans, C. otrubae, C. oederi, C. echinata and C. demissa. Upon reaching Salomon’s Chapel, we turned left to head back to our car. Alongside a small stream, there was a moist field where we recorded Juncus squarrosus, Drosera rotundifolia and Carex leporina.


1 July: Spellinge Mose (Google map)
In Danish, “mose” means “swamp,” so you can imagine what “Spellinge Mose” was like. We parked our car in the woods and followed a path that circled around the swamp. Despite the abundance of mosquitoes, we managed to record several new plant species. In the swampy areas, we found Carex pseudocyperus, Spirodela polyrhiza and Schoenoplectus lacustris for example.

Nuphar pumila The discovery of Nuphar pumila (see picture) in the water was particularly exciting for us, as we had never seen this plant before. A little further along the path, there was an arable field where we recorded Lipandra polysperma, Galeopsis tetrahit and Lamium hybridum. In the adjacent forest we recorded species like Silene viscaria, Maianthemum bifolium and Equisetum sylvaticum. The landscape around Spellinge Mose was beautiful, making the walk quite enjoyable.


1 July: Rubinsøen (Google map)
On the other hand, the lake known as Rubinsøen did not live up to our expectations. This lake is a former lignite mine that is now filled with water. The only new species we recorded there was Quercus rubra.


1 July: Around the pier of Hasle (Google map)
On our return journey, we decided to make a brief stop at the pier of Hasle. Unfortunately, the vegetation had been recently mowed, so we were hardly able to discover any new plant species. The adjacent town itself also did not yield many new species. We recorded species like Lepidium draba, Puccinellia distans and Spergularia marina. Afterward, we returned to our holiday apartment. On this first full day, we managed to expand our Bornholm species list to 444 different plant species. We were quite pleased with this preliminary result.


2 July: Raghammer Skydeterræn (Google map)
The following day, we decided to visit the southernmost point of Bornholm, characterized by steep sandy dunes (and numerous holiday homes). Our journey took us through the town of Rønne, where we recorded several species alongside the road, such as Petasites hybridus, Verbascum speciosum and Sedum rupestre. Our first significant stop was at Raghammer Skydeterræn. This military domain, located on the island’s south coast, is composed of low dunes, forests, and grassy meadows. There are multiple entrances to the area, each marked with signs that, albeit somewhat incomprehensible, provide guidance on where and when you can enter. The signs mentioned something about green lines on a map, but these lines were not visible due to sun fading. Even within the Raghammer Skydeterræn, there were no clear signs indicating restricted areas.

Lathyrus japonicus Our exploration began with a path through a pine forest, where we recorded Luzula congesta, Salsola tragus and near a small pond Persicaria hydropiper. Eventually, we reached a narrow beach and were delighted to find the stunning Lathyrus japonicus (see picture) again. At a land tip jutting into the sea, we turned back towards the dunes. Here, Jasione montana and Galium verum were the most abundant species, but we also recorded species like Silene nutans, Helichrysum arenarium, Odontites vernus and Euphrasia stricta.

Despite several signs warning us not to stray from the paths due to unexploded ammunition, we sometimes had no choice. After all, how can one search for wild plants while sticking strictly to the roads? So, we occasionally ventured off the paths, taking care not to step on any mines. We paid particular attention to the wet parts of the terrain. Indeed, there were some small ponds where we recorded Salix triandra, Salix viminalis and in the water Lemna trisulca. This site proved to be quite rewarding!


2 July: To the beach at Dueodde (Google map)

Goodyera repens To reach the southernmost point of Bornholm, you must venture to the vicinity of Dueodde. Walking paths extend from the paved road towards the beach. This area can get a bit crowded, and if you’re looking to purchase souvenirs or enjoy an ice cream, you’re definitely in the right place. However, we had other interests and followed a rather busy path southward but deviated from it at several points. Initially, we encountered a marshy environment. Further south, the path meandered through a pine forest. We strayed from the path and discovered the spectacular Goodyera repens (see picture). It was quite abundant! Some specimens exhibited yellow markings on their leaves, which are considered to be a variation of the species. In the dunes with bare sandy soil, we recorded species like Festuca juncifolia, Erigeron acris and Epilobium tetragonum as well.


2 July: South of Nexø (Google map)
Our third stop of the day was slightly south of Nexø, where we had identified some ponds and marshy fields on our map. We parked the car at a cemetery and followed a trail into the woods. Here, we identified species like Viola odorata, Symphytum x uplandicum (S. asperum x S. officinale) and Geranium pusillum. Scattered through the area we found small ponds, consisting of rain water that was collected in rocky pits. We found species like Lythrum portula, Potamogeton friesii, Carex riparia and Butomus umbellatus there.

The forest trail ended at a rickety bridge, which we dared to cross after a brief moment of hesitation. However, we suddenly found ourselves on what appeared to be private property, so we quickly retreated to the forest and retraced our steps. We then arrived at an allotment complex, which presented a unique opportunity to find several weeds and human-influenced plant species like Aethusa cynapium, Datura stramonium and Fumaria officinalis. At the coastline, there was a bird sanctuary named Nexø Sydstrand, where we found Arum italicum, Angelica archangelica and Conium maculatum. From there, we made our way back to our car, passing the cemetery where we recorded Viola x wittrockiana (V. altaica x V. lutea subsp. sudetica x V. tricolor) and loads of Trifolium striatum.


2 July: Ølene Fuglereservat (Google map)

Pinguicula vulgaris We wrapped up our day at the Ølene Bird Reserve. Like our previous destinations, we selected this location based on the visible ponds on our map. Ølene turned out to be a real gem! A significant portion of the reserve was inhabited by Cladium mariscus. However, the area sandwiched between the forest edge and the Cladium mariscus yielded numerous exciting discoveries. For instance, we documented the presence of Pinguicula vulgaris (see picture). There were also other species that are adapted to wet environments, such as Galium boreale, Utricularia vulgaris, Baldellia ranunculoides and Gentiana pneumonanthe.

As we retraced our steps to the trail to ascend a bird tower, we were pleasantly surprised to find Pyrola minor. Other notable discoveries included Valeriana dioica, Arnica montana and Galium boreale. The area was abundant with various sedges, like Carex disticha, C. lasiocarpa and C. hostiana. As the weather turned colder and rainier, we decided to head back to our car. We left Ølene Bird Reserve feeling extremely satisfied with our findings!


3 July: Hammershus (Google map)
Situated relatively close to our holiday home was “Hammershus,” the ruins of a Medieval castle. Judging by the size of the parking lot and the visitor center, it appeared to be quite bustling during the summer. We visited the area on a tranquil day that began with a refreshing drizzle. Consequently, there were only a handful of other visitors at Hammershus. Our exploration began on a narrow path that descended steeply through a forest. We recorded Hieracium murorum, Lamiastrum galeobdolon and Mercurialis perennis in this area.

Veronica spicata After crossing a small stream, we found ourselves in a more grassy terrain, where large rocks jutted out with the former castle perched on top. We discovered Carex leersii, Leonurus cardiaca and Hypericum tetrapterum in these grassy fields. On the rocks we found species like Campanula trachelium, Veronica spicata (see picture) and Vincetoxicum hirundinaria. Inside the castle, we spotted some specimens of Hyoscyamus albus. We also found Asplenium adiantum-nigrum growing on the ancient castle walls. The area surrounding Hammershus was indeed rewarding!


3 July: Langebjerg (Google map)
Our subsequent destination was Langebjerg, situated near the town of Sandvig, a place we had also visited on July 1st. According to local folklore, the hill is home to a troll named Krølle Bølle, his father Bobbarækus, his mother Bobbasina, and his sister Krølle Borra. Langebjerg piqued our interest as we drove past it from a distance, prompting us to explore the reserve. The experience was truly rewarding! With no clear paths in sight, we navigated across the hill randomly, discovering species like Filipendula vulgaris, Polygala vulgaris and Orchis mascula.

Melampyrum arvense Particularly striking was the abundance of Melampyrum arvense (sse picture), predominantly on the southern slope of the hill. Upon reaching the hilltop, we encountered a group of goats. Misinterpreting our presence as a feeding opportunity, they began to trail behind us. Naturally, we didn’t feed them. Langebjerg was indeed a worthwhile stop. Regrettably, we were too late in the summer to witness the blooming of Dactylorhiza sambucina, a flower for which Langebjerg is renowned.


3 July: Along the northeastern coast (Google map)
From Sandvig, we traced the northeastern coastline of Bornholm, moving southward. We made several stops, primarily where freshwater streams cascaded down from the hills. Our initial stop was at Døndalen. This location was quite bustling, with numerous families strolling through the woods. We only documented a few new plant species here, such as Veronica montana and Equisetum hyemale. The presence of Asplenium trichomanes was somewhat noteworthy, given that we hadn’t encountered it anywhere else on the island.

Further south, we paused at a deciduous forest along the Bobbe å. Similar to Døndalen, the decaying leaves of Allium ursinum slightly marred the experience due to their unpleasant sight and smell. However, we did discover a few new plant species at Bobbe å, such as Primula elatior and Arum maculatum. A surprising discovery was the presence of several Araucaria araucana specimens in the forest. This species is not native to the area, and it appears someone has intentionally planted them in the forest for reasons unknown to us. Naturally, it does not qualify for our wild plant list on Bornholm.

Serratula tinctoria Our third stop along the northeastern coastline was at Saltune, where we documented Stellaria nemorum, Anthyllis vulneraria and Serratula tinctoria (see picture). Our final stop was at Bølshavn Havn. The environment there reminded us somewhat of the seaside grassy fields at Sandvig. We observed a unique mix of freshwater plants and salt-tolerant species. We recorded species such as Lotus maritimus, Ononis spinosa subsp. procurrens and Veronica catenata, which were found alongside Triglochin maritima and Bolboschoenus maritimus. A remarkable discovery was Primula farinosa, a species we did not expect to find on Bornholm. These plants were accompanied by Epipactis palustris, another rare find on the island.


3 July: Bastemose (Google map)
In our quest for wet habitats, we ventured further into the inland areas of Bornholm. We identified a marshy area on the map, known as “Bastemose”, which featured a bird-watching tower and a wooden walkway traversing the marsh. The path led us through a forest on both sides of the marsh, where we documented Neottia ovata.

Trientalis europaea In the marsh itself, we recorded species like Hydrocharis morsus-ranae, Sium latifolium, Stratiotes aloides and Hottonia palustris. While Rutger was busy photographing Carex appropinquata, Jeroen decided to take a quick nap in the sun, lying down on the wooden walkway. A woman who noticed this rushed towards us, thinking there was an emergency. However, since Carex appropinquata had already been identified, the perceived emergency had been effectively addressed. In the forest on the west side of Bastemose we were pleasantly surprised by the discovery of Trientalis europaea (which had no flowers, unfortunately - see picture).


4 July: Svartingedalen (Google map)

Lonicera xylosteum Relatively close to our holiday home was a valley known as Svartingedalen. A quaint stream, Baggea, meandered through this valley. In our quest for discovering new species, we decided to explore it. Svartingedalen turned out to be a charming forested valley. We identified some new plant species in the dense forest, such as Paris quadrifolia, Anemone ranunculoides, Lonicera xylosteum (see picture), Dryopteris expansa and Ranunculus auricomus. About halfway into the valley, we came across a grassy field inhabited by cows. Two men with noisy machinery were busy mowing the grass. In a nearby pond, we documented Carex acutiformis and Lemna turionifera. Beyond this point, the valley transitioned back into a forest. Here, we once again encountered Paris quadrifolia.


4 July: Rønne city (Google map)
Our species list was brimming with a variety of plants, but we were still short of our goal of identifying 750 different species. This led us to consider new habitats that we hadn’t visited before. We set off to the nearest large town on Bornholm, Rønne, hoping to discover several plant species typical of human-influenced areas. While we didn’t record any plants in gardens, we did take note of all escapees, such as Erysimum cheiri, Verbena bonariensis, Antirrhinum majus and Parietaria judaica.

Oxalis exilis Nestled between the rocks of roads and pavements, we found grasses like Setaria pumila, Eragrostis multicaulis and Avena fatua. The surroundings of a small pond in a park took us by surprise with Aruncus dioicus, Potentilla indica, Potamogeton berchtoldii and Amsinckia micrantha. The discovery of Oxalis exilis was particularly special for us, as we had never encountered this plant before. It’s a diminutive version of Oxalis, characterized by single yellow flowers and tiny leaves (see picture). This species turned out to be quite prevalent in the town of Rønne.


4 July: Ringebakke (Google map)
Another location in close proximity to our holiday home was Ringebakke. Here, we discovered a forest-covered valley named Blaskinsdalen, carved out by a small stream. We embarked on a journey along a narrow path leading to a chapel, where we first recorded Petasites albus. As the path meandered closer to the sea, we discovered species like Rosa villosa and Melampyrum arvense.

Hepatica nobilis The path through the valley of Blaskinsdalen was surrounded by a dark deciduous forest, teeming with a rich variety of plant species. Here, we documented several species that we had hoped, but failed, to find in Svartingedalen, including Chrysosplenium alternifolium in a small freshwater stream and the leaves of Hepatica nobilis (see picture) in the forest. We also came across other interesting species, such as Sanicula europaea and Pulmonaria obscura.

Cotoneaster horizontalis As the valley came to an end, we traversed through some deserted quarries. By this time, a robust wind had picked up and it was raining quite heavily, making our plant exploration somewhat uncomfortable. Despite the conditions, we managed to record species like Juncus ranarius, Barbarea intermedia and Cotoneaster horizontalis (see picture). Upon reaching the second quarry, which was the most northern one, we were disheartened by the inclement weather and decided to retreat to our car. However, just as we were about to leave, a light green leaf rosette with spiny leaves caught our attention. It was Carlina vulgaris, a delightful species that perfectly concluded our day. Drenched, we made our way back to our car and returned to our holiday home.


5 July: Safirsøn (Google map)

Chimaphila umbellata We continued our search for wet environments, believing they offered the best opportunity to expand our species list. Our journey took us to a lake named Safirsøn, located just south of our holiday home. This area is recognized for the presence of Chimaphilla umbellata, a plant neither of us had encountered before, sparking our eagerness to find it. We did locate it, but were slightly disappointed to find only leaf rosettes visible; the flowers were yet to bloom (see picture). It puzzled us why the species was confined to a single location in the forest, as the rest of the forest seemed equally suitable to us. The area was dotted with several interesting species, including Lathyrus linifolius and Melica uniflora.

Epipactis phyllanthes Our exploration led us to the beach, where we found a few freshwater puddles near the sea. Here, we recorded a fascinating mix of freshwater and saltwater plants. New species were for example Rumex hydrolapathum, Glyceria maxima and Typha angustifolia. Our path eventually led us to Lake Safirsøn. To our surprise, we discovered Epipactis phyllanthes (see picture) there. We used BlumenInSchwaben to confirm the species name, which we later learned was already known from this area. Satisfied with our findings, we returned to our car.


5 July: Lilleborg (Google map)

Alchemilla glabra We took a brief break at Lilleborg, the ruins of a medieval castle perched on a hill and surrounded by water. The castle was constructed in 1190 by King Knud VI. Today, only a few remnants of the castle remain, primarily low stone walls. However, in the water surrounding the former castle, we discovered Sagittaria sagittifolia. In the adjacent forest we found Alchemilla glabra (see picture) and Lysimachia nemorum. Our original plan was to walk from this site towards Ekkodalen. However, due to the scarcity of new species in the intervening forest, we decided to return to our car and drive to Ekkodalen instead.


5 July: Ekkodalen (Google map)
Ekkodalen is a well-known nature reserve, shaped by volcanic activity in the past. Today, it attracts many visitors who take the valley’s name quite literally: “ekko” translates to “echo,” prompting many visitors to shout aloud during their walk through the valley. This often results in the valley echoing like the monkey house at our local zoo. As you can imagine, our visit to Ekkodalen was somewhat disappointing due to this. However, we had a rather pleasant encounter with a roe deer that was hiding from us, seemingly trying to protect its offspring. We hadn’t noticed the mother and child until we were quite close, at which point they decided to flee. We hope they were able to reunite after we left. We recorded Verbena officinalis, Gnaphalium sylvaticum and Rubus nessensis in Ekkodalen and decided to leave the monkey house as quickly as possible.

5 July: Hestehave (Google map)
Two days prior, we had ventured to another marshy area referred to as “Hestehave” on our topographic map. Our initial attempt to explore the swamp was thwarted by the challenging terrain, lack of paths in the wet area, and the presence of cows and their guardswoman. We only managed to record Rubus saxatilis. However, undeterred, we decided to try again. Having figured out how to access the area, our second attempt proved successful.

Carex pulicaris The marshy grassland was grazed by a few friendly cows,  and turned out to be a treasure trove of plant species. For starters, we found numerous sedges, such as Carex pulicaris (see picture), C. pallescens and C. vesicaria. These were accompanied by other plants typical of marshy habitats, including Pinguicula vulgaris and Valeriana dioica. Scattered throughout the valley, we also discovered several specimens of Primula elatior. As you can imagine, we were quite pleased with our decision to revisit the area.


5 July: Pedersker Jagdhuset near Ølene Fuglereservat (Google map)

Monotropa hypopitys Another location we had previously visited was Ølene Fuglereservat. Two days prior, we were somewhat driven away by the rain after a successful plant hunt. We hadn’t yet reached Pedersker Jagdhuset, a known habitat for Monotropa hypopitys. So we decided to head directly to the Jagdhuset this time. There, we were joined by numerous Danish families gathering chanterelles. These mushrooms were abundant (mostly smaller specimens), and we found Monotropa hypopitys (see picture) quite frequently in the forest surrounding the Jagdhuset. We also recorded Poa pratensis subsp. irrigata at this location.


5 July: Kodalen in Paradisbakkerne (Google map)

Asplenium septentrionale Paradisbakkerne is another renowned nature reserve on Bornholm. It’s characterized by hilly, rocky terrains with slender rift valleys, enclosed by vertical cliffs. We were pleasantly surprised to find that only a few other people were around, making Paradisbakkerne far from a monkey house. In fact, Kodalen (part of the Paradisbakkerne area) was a stunning valley encircled by steep rocky slopes. We documented Carex pallescens and Platanthera chlorantha here. On the rocks we observed Asplenium septentrionale (see picture), a species we knew could be found in Kodalen.


5 July: Along the eastern coast (Google map)

Silene viscaria Our tour along the northeastern coast on July 3rd had been quite enjoyable. So we decided to explore the coast a bit further south as well, visiting three distinct areas ranging from Årsdale to Svaneke. South of Årsdale, we descended a slope dotted with large boulders. On these boulders, we discovered Cotoneaster integerrimus, Lepidium heterophyllum and Silene viscaria (see picture). At the base of the slope, there was a grassy and damp area, similar to other coastal locations we had visited. We particularly enjoyed these spots due to the presence of both freshwater and saltwater plants. Here, we documented species such as Samolus valerandi, Lotus maritimus, Pinguicula vulgaris and Primula farinosa.

Lotus maritimus North of Årsdale, we explored an area that appeared to be a popular spot for skeet shooting. The remnants of clay targets were scattered throughout the entire area. However, here too, we found a delightful mix of freshwater and saltwater plants. Juncus inflexus and Juncus balticus could both be observed here. As was the case at most areas near the coast, the beautiful Lotus maritimus (see picture) was present throughout.

Dipsacus strigosus Finally, we visited the town of Svaneke. We followed the coastline and meandered through the village, documenting several new species that had escaped from gardens or allotments. Parthenocissus vitacea, Campanula portenschlagiana and Brunnera macrophylla are good examples of this. One specimen of Dipsacus strigosus (see picture) grew in the pavement in front of a house, reaching the same height as the house itself. It was a remarkable sight.


6 July: Motocross area Klemensker (Google map)

Galeopsis x ludwigii We began the final day of our Botanical Journey at the motocross area of Klemensker. Upon arrival, we encountered a few men working, so we introduced ourselves and explained our intentions. They assured us that it was no problem for us to walk on the race track. So, we proceeded. The grassy edges of the track were teeming with various species. Anthyllis vulneraria was plentiful, and we also spotted many specimens of Jasione montana. Several Galeopsis species puzzled us, as some seemed to form intermediate plants. We recorded Galeopsis ladanum, Galeopsis bifida and the hybrid Galeopsis x ludwigii (G. bifida x G. tetrahit - see picture). Filago germanica, Filago arvensis and Logfia minima grew in close proximity, allowing us to easily discern the differences between these species. It was somewhat unusual to traverse a race track, but the experience at Klemensker was certainly rewarding!


6 July: Small ponds at Kærby and Bornholms Golfklub (Google map)

Ranunculus sardous As we drove from the motocross area towards the sea, we encountered numerous (artificial?) ponds nestled in grassy meadows or within the premises of Bornholms Golfklub. We paused momentarily to look for plants and recorded Ranunculus sardous (see picture) and Cardamine pratensis subsp. paludosa here. The roads were quite narrow, and while we were busy identifying a particular plant, there was insufficient space for another vehicle to overtake us. Consequently, we had to move ahead, allowing the other car to pass, and halted in the driveway of the nearest house. The other driver overtook us, rolled down his window, and inquired about our activities. We explained our quest for finding wild plants on Bornholm and showed him the plant we were trying to identify. Following our explanation, the driver parked his car, retreated into his house, and reappeared after a few minutes. He handed us his mobile phone, suggesting a possible name for the species. His guess was spot on – it was indeed Ranunculus peltatus.


6 July: Sose strand (Google map)
During this year’s Botanical Journey, we had only visited the southern coast of Bornholm on one occasion. To rectify this, we decided to explore Sose Strand ("strand" translates to “beach”). The initial part of the trail was perched high above the sea level, atop sandy cliffs that appeared precarious and ready to collapse at any moment. Fortunately, no such incident occurred, and we were able to record Campanula persicifolia here. The adjacent cornfield proved to be a valuable source of several weeds.

Helichrysum arenarium As we approached a holiday home, the terrain transformed into a sandy expanse teeming with wildflowers. Here, we documented the presence of Succisa pratensis, Helichrysum arenarium (see picture) and Thymus serpyllum. Interestingly, we found white-flowered variants of both Thymus serpyllum and Jasione montana. These will be featured on our anomalies page titled “Plants That Are Not White”.

Eryngium maritimum We resumed our journey along the beach, where we noted the presence of Lotus maritimus, Lathyrus japonicus, Honckenya peploides and Eryngium maritimum (see picture). Finally, we retraced our steps back to our car, following a path through the dunes. This route offered breathtaking views of Bornholm’s shoreline and the vast expanse of the sea.

6 July: Kærgårds mose (Google map)

Inula salicina Another marsh, known as Kærgårds Mose, was on our itinerary. Our exploration began on a rather unusual spot near the parking area, where we discovered a variety of naturalized garden plants. These plants seemed to be thriving, leading us to speculate that the area might have been a former garden waste pit. We documented species like Phedimus hybridus, Iris sibirica and Pulmonaria officinalis here. As we ventured deeper into the marsh, the plant species we encountered were more in line with our expectations. We were able to record some new species in this area, such as Rosa multiflora, Inula salicina (see picture), Cirsium acaule and Ranunculus bulbosus. We also found Lemna gibba in a small pond.


6 July: Rutsker Højlyng (Google map)

Spinulum annotinum The final destination of this year’s Botanical Journey was Rutsker Højlyng, one of the numerous forest plantations on Bornholm. The forest at Rutsker Højlyng is a quintessential plantation forest, with expansive areas of red spruce and smaller sections of beech, Scots pine, and mixed deciduous forest featuring birch and alder. We traced a portion of the walking route known as “Højlyngsstien”, which meandered through a stunning heath area. Here we recorded Pilosella aurantiaca and Hypericum pulchrum. In one particular section of the forest, Spinulum annotinum (see picture) was notably abundant. The path led us directly through it. Just as we were nearing our car, we stumbled upon Geranium sylvaticum too.


This marked the conclusion of our Botanical Journey. In total, we documented 766 plant species on Bornholm, consisting of 733 species, 5 aggregate species, 15 subspecies, 12 hybrids and 1 variety. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we had achieved our predetermined goal of recording at least 750 species. Below is our comprehensive list of recorded species:
