Ruin of the medieval fortress Hammershus located on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. While I was visiting Bornholm on vacation it was unfortunately quite windy, so not many days where I could get the drone in the air.

That's a nice shot.

Remarkable close up.    Fortress is really well maintained to be from the medieval days.  

I read where the island of Bornholm was a Viking stronghold for many years.  Quite the interesting location.

Interesting cave.  If it had a bit deeper entranceway it could have been used years ago for a submarine pen.  However, the water looks way to shallow for that use.  

Perfect wonderful shot, Hero! Thanks for sharing this with us.

May have been a secret entrance to the castle perhaps.

This is spectacular!  I would love to visit the old castles.

Ahh, I didn't consider that idea but seems very viable.

Or a pirate cove
A bit far off course for Jack Sparrow though

I see your imagination is working overtime.    But I do love the way you are thinking.

Thanks for the comments.
Some believe the fortress as well as the four Round churches of Bornholm (largest of the four is shown in the photo below) was used by the Templar knights and may hide treasures brought back from Jerusalem. So maybe the cave is full of gold

(Not a drone shot)

Great aerial photo

Thanks for posting Hero. Really nice image. We are so lucky to able to capture these otherwise impossible perspectives with drones

Very nice to see!
