We catch upon admin, (I mostly catch up with the blog) then we do a short cycle through forest to Hasle.
From Wikipedia: "The name "Hasle" appears to have originated from Old Danish "hasli", meaning "hazel", and was used in 1335 as the name of the northernmost of Bornholm's four counties (herreder) before being applied to the town in 1546. In the middle of the 16th century, Hasle was granted rights as a market town (which it maintains today as Bornholm's second smallest market town) authorizing it to have a local administration headed by a mayor and to practice manufacturing and trading. The town's location on fertile land next to the sea provided fine opportunities for cultivating vegetables (carrots) and fishing (herring, cod and salmon)."
A herring smokehouse and my bike.
The man-made harbour was built in the 1900's. There was no natural harbour like those along Bornholm's north coast, the harbour had to be built from scratch. This harbour drove the local economy, as can be seen from the town's many smokehouses.
Another former smokehouse, now a restaurant.
I swim in another harbour swimming pool while Bill reads the paper in a cafe.
We leave Hasle and cycle back to Ronne.
