Description
Pedersker is a quiet Danish village surrounded by farmed fields. To the north, beyond the former railway, the Lynggårdsskoven woods are managed by the State. The populated area is mainly in a triangular section between the main road and the railway, some 64% of the houses dating to before 1950. To the south of the village, the little fishing village of Bakkerne Havn has become an important summer house development. There is a private school in the village and the old dairy is considered to be of importance to the local heritage.[http://www.brk.dk/Indflydelse-Politik/Planer/Kommuneplan%202009%20%20Del%202/305%20Pedersker.pdf "305 - Pedersker"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130702191955/http://brk.dk/Indflydelse-Politik/Planer/Kommuneplan%202009%20%20Del%202/305%20Pedersker.pdf |date=2013-07-02 }}, Bornholms Regionskommune. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 2 November 2012.
