The large St. Clement's Church stands in the centre of Klemensker and is visible from far away. Alongside this striking building, a route around the town, a lake with a wooden bridge and cheese-making also offer ways to explore. This means you will find different points of interest in Klemensker for culture, outdoor activities and regional specialities.

Town Walk and Cycling Route

The Klemenskerstien goes all the way around Klemensker, but it is not marked. Bear this in mind when planning if you would like to include the circuit. The Regional Route 23 cycling route offers a different perspective: it reaches Klemensker from Nyker. These details describe two different approaches to a trip—a circuit around the town and a route that reaches Klemensker from Nyker.

St. Clement's Church offers another point of reference, this time in the centre of the town. Its prominent location and the route around Klemensker provide different ways to orient yourself: one takes you around Klemensker as a circular route, while the other is a central landmark. If you would like to combine cycling and culture, you can consider both without treating them as a single route.

Church Art at St. Clement's Church

The church's furnishings also make it a specific point of interest for culturally minded travellers. Paul Høm donated a mosaic above the chancel arch to Sct. Clemens Kirke. It depicts a pierced lamb with a victory banner and a chalice. This is a specific image motif, distinct from the church's visibility from far away.

Paul Høm also chose the colours of the church interior and decorated the 1882 pulpit with figures of the four Evangelists and grapevines in its panels. For those interested in church art, there is therefore everything from a mosaic and the colour scheme to details on the pulpit. The church can thus be understood not only by its location in the town centre, but also through specific elements of its furnishings.

A Break at Præstemosen

Præstemosen is in Klemensker, near Klemens Church. A shelter and a wooden bridge leading out over the water stand by the lake. The small bridge provides access close to the water, while the area around the shelter offers a place to take a break outdoors. These are two different ways to spend time there: looking out over the water or taking a break outside.

Unlike the town walk or church art, the focus here is on spending time by the lake. If you would like to add variety to your time in Klemensker, you can include these different themes in your plans without assigning them a particular order.

Cheese and Regional Specialities

Bornholms Andelsmejeri invites visitors to Klemensker to sample Bornholm specialities. At the dairy, blue cheeses are still turned by hand. This means local topics include both a possible tasting experience and insight into a specific production practice. Check current visitor arrangements before planning a dedicated visit.

For travellers interested in regional food, this artisanal step is a special feature: the cheeses are not only mentioned as a speciality, but are also linked to an ongoing practice. This complements Klemensker's other themes without the invitation to sample them making any claims about specific visiting hours or booking options.

Bornholm in the Wider Travel Context

You can travel to Bornholm by ferry, plane, bus or train. The ferry crossing from Ystad in Sweden to Bornholm takes one hour and twenty minutes. Check current timetables before deciding how to travel. This information can help you plan your trip to the island; exploring Klemensker remains a separate decision.

Other Bornholm experiences can also complement your travel plans. The NaturBornholm experience centre features dinosaurs, live crocodiles, an aquarium and a bison exhibition. Bornholms Middelaldercenter is a 15-hectare open-air museum that presents Bornholm in the 14th century in an engaging and interactive way. Both examples broaden the view of the destination as a whole, while the church, Præstemosen and Andelsmejeri are the themes described here in Klemensker.

Bornholm's food culture also has a long smoking tradition: the island's first smokehouse opened in Gudhjem in 1866, where herring has been smoked ever since. Hasle Smokehouse is the last smokehouse on Bornholm where fish is smoked in the traditional way, using open chimneys and alder wood. Together with cheese-making in Klemensker, these examples showcase different culinary themes on the island.
