Although most of Bornholm’s landscape is cultivated using various forms of modern farming, it still holds a wealth of magical tales. Stories of our ancestors’ deep connection with the landscape go hand in hand with tales of Bornholm’s magical inhabitants – De Underjordiske, the underground folk. At this event, you can hear more about how both the islanders and the underground folk have cultivated and used the landscape over the past few thousand years. Discover their beer and bread, their celebrations and festivals, and how these stories remain deeply relevant to understanding Bornholm today – and perhaps in the future.
Before and after the storytelling, you can visit the farm shop at Pilegård Cideri and enjoy a cider or beer in peaceful surroundings.
