Bornholm is the ideal holiday island. Manageable in size yet as multifaceted and inspiring as few other Danish regions. From white sandy beaches to cliff landscapes. From traditional sights to the newest in culture and cuisine. There are experiences for all tastes and all budgets here.
At Hotel Hammersø, the Bornholm nature unfolds just outside the window. Both Hammersø and the protected nature area Hammeren invites you to beautiful, unique hikes. You can also walk to Sandvig beach and harbour. Or go to the Hammershus castle ruins, the quarry museum Moseløkken, Opalsøen with its fun train line and Hammerhavnen, which is the starting point for pleasant boat rides along the coast.
At Sandvig, there are lovely events for all tastes throughout the summer. Read more about music, exhibitions, Tuesday markets and more.
If you go a little further away, experiences abound like pearls on a string. If you go around the coast, the idyllic Gudhjem and Svaneke await your visit, unless you would rather spend your day on the white sandy beaches at Balka and Dueodde. In the middle of the island is some of the most changing and hilly nature in Denmark, as well as the large forest Almindingen.
Hareløkkerne in Almindingen has the world's smallest horse racetrack; Bornholms Brand Park Experience the wholly unique atmosphere of “Bornholm’s National Sport” – and get up close to horses, jockeys and races.
After a few days, you will have Bornholm in your blood, enjoying your holiday to the fullest. And if you want to get your heart racing, there is no end to your options. With hiking, running, cycling, canoeing and kayaking, rock climbing, golf and much more, you can conquer the island with an active holiday in pact with nature and culture.
