How about a stroll through a fishing hamlet where time seems to slow down? Welcome to Teglkås a cosy cultural gem on Bornholm’s west coast. This is Teglkås a place where the sunsets are magnificent.
Teglkås was established around 1700 when it was called “Tegl Kaas”. It later became known as “Kaas Fiskerleje” in the mid-1800s. Imagine this small hamlet bustling with activity.
Picture the scene in the 1930s. Around 20 commercial fishermen are heading out to sea. They primarily fish for herring and cod. The air is filled with the salty tang of the Baltic Sea.
See those two smokehouses over there? They date back to around 1900. Fishermen used them until the 1960s. The aroma of smoked fish once filled the air here.
Visiting yachts are welcome in Teglkås today. The outer harbor has vacant berths in the inner harbor. The new jetty in the outer harbor calms the waves. Locals and visitors use it as a bathing jetty. Take a refreshing dip if you dare.
Be careful when entering the harbor. Watch out for the large boulders north of the harbor entrance. This is especially important in less than ideal weather.
Teglkås was built in 1850. It has been enlarged several times since. The harbor offers tranquillity and stunning sunsets. Many come here to escape the hustle.
Pause for a moment. Imagine the lives of the fishermen who once called Teglkås home. Think about their daily struggles and triumphs. Feel the connection to the past.
Enjoy the simple pleasures of this coastal village. Breathe in the fresh sea air and listen to the gentle lapping of the waves. Teglkås is a place to unwind and appreciate the beauty of Bornholm.
