360-degree view & 20 tons of stone

28 meters above the Isefjord and sea level, Orø's highest point Stensbjerg Bakke stretches Bakke towards the sky. Stensbjerg is also called Margrethebakken.

From the top you have 360-degree views of the magnificent glacial landscape.

If you need an obvious pit stop on your cycling or hiking trip, then the Orø stone is a good choice. The 20-ton stone is Bornholm granite and made the trip from the rocky island to Orø back in the Ice Age. There have been great forces at work until the ice melted, and the stone landed on Orø at what is now known as Lindhøjgård.

The stone made its last journey in 1996, when it was moved by block truck to the ridge at Næsbyvej, from where you can enjoy both the Orø stone and water views on three sides.

In the middle of the most beautiful nature is Gallery Artdoor. Here you can enjoy a cold or hot to drink in the café while you get sucked into the universe of artist Steen B. Langvad's universe.

Oil paintings, illustrations and sculptures are exhibited here, and you can stock up on the island's unique products and local delicacies from the shop.

Orø Church was built in the late 1100s. It is a beautiful piece of local history that is well worth a visit.
