Dueodde is a beach in Denmark on Bornholm's southernmost tip. It is known for its very fine white sand. The area around Dueodde was originally a large sandy area. In the eighteenth century it was planted with pines, as well as Ammophila and Leymus grasses to reduce sand drift.[1] Today, Dueodde is a protected area. The sand at Dueodde moves easily with the wind to form dunes. The vast dune area and associated sandy beach start at Haslemere extending some 30 kilometres (19 mi) almost without interruption.[2] Apart from the beach, one noteworthy feature is the Dueodde Lighthouse on the southern tip. It is the tallest on the island. Built in 1962, it offers a panoramic view of the surroundings.[3] The two old lighthouses, Dueodde Syd (next to the new lighthouse) and Dueodde Nord are not open for the public.
Remains of unfinished gun battery
Hidden in the forest one can find the ruins of the two gun batteries Bornholm Süd, which were constructed by the German Wehrmacht from 1940, but closed down unfinished in 1941, when the soldiers were transferred to Kristiansand (Norway) to build the battery Vara. [4]
