October 3, 2025,🇩🇰Bornholm: 🌊Nexø🐦↔️Balka 🌊03.10.2025

A very leisurely walk through the adjacent forest 🌳 from Nexø, including the coastal path, to Balka and back through the bird sanctuary🐦🦆.

In Nexø, we strolled a bit through the streets and shops🧤.

At the bird sanctuary:
We spotted a few barnacle geese, many greylag geese, mallards, cormorants, and five lapwings🙂

Yesterday we arrived on Bornholm without any problems.
After moving into our little house, we realized: This is the sixth time in this house.👌

Today we went to Nexø for bulk shopping. But before that we did our usual walk from Nexø, first through a bog and then through heathland …

Yesterday we arrived here on Bornholm after a stress-free journey (even the Baltic Sea was kind to us: the waves were only marginal😉).
We were in the rented house for the 6th time. It was a breeze to move things in.

Very sunny today and finally warmer.👍 Since our stocks of bread and beer were exhausted, we drove to Nexø for bulk shopping.

Also today we ran a little round beforehand. Always the same, always beautiful, always very relaxing.
Especially the path to the bird sanctuary is always very interesting.
Overall it was a rather lazy day with lots of sun …
