Site description
A sea area off Bornholm containing rocky islands with cliffs. Two islands are inhabited.
Key biodiversity
The site is designated as a Special Protection Area because it is the only known Danish site with breeding Alca torda (570 pairs) and Uria aalge (2,000 pairs), although numbers do not reach C3 thresholds. It is also important for breeding Somateria mollissima (3,000 pairs), but numbers are below the C3 threshold.
