Hasle
Two km/1.25 mi along the Bornholm coast from Brogårdsten lies Hasle, a little port with a sturdy 14th century stone church with a half-timbered tower; the beautifully carved and painted winged altar is the work of a Lübeck artist and dates from around 1450. In July the Herring Festival is celebrated in Hasle.
South of the town a sandy beach lies beyond some pine woods, and 7 km/4.5 mi to the north stretches a steep granite coast with a crag known as Jons Kapel (John's Chapel), which is 40m/130ft high.
The town of Hasle has a population of about 1800 people.
