Aarsdale (also: Årsdale) is a village on the eastern coast of the Baltic island of Bornholm, Denmark. Located between Svaneke and Nexø, it has a population of 461.
Once a prosperous fishing village, its economy now relies mainly on
tourism thanks to its half-timbered houses, its harbour and its windmill.
Welcome to Aarsdale... ;-)

The eight-sided Dutch windmill (1877) close to the main road at the
southern end of the village is a local landmark. It is the only windmill
on the island which has been in constant operation since it was built
serving three genrations of the Mikkelsen family. Flour production is
now for private use only.
How cute! It’s a nice way to be welcomed, Uwe! On this island, everything looks simple, unaffected, and charming in colors. The windmill is beautiful. The rocks create special atmosphere at the beach. Thanks for sharing.

AntwortenLöschenOf course you may call the dogs sociable, but I would rather call them yappy little dogs or just barkers... :-)
