background
Dueodde - that's actually just sand, dunes, pine forests and the high lighthouse behind the dunes. The wide dune belt has been under nature protection since 1936, which means that the forces of nature are not stopped.

Dueodde was also part of a plan by the German occupiers during the Second World War to develop Bornholm into a fortress, with the help of which the access to the Baltic Sea should be controlled and controlled at this point. Remnants of this never completed building project can be found hidden in the forests of Bornholm, monumental and in the stability of the concrete used, which seems to have been built there forever in the forest, also a memorial to future generations.
