Bornholm

Rugged granite cliffs in the north, endless sandy beaches in the south and dense forests inland - Bornholm's nature, which is very different from the rest of Denmark, makes the island a real natural paradise. Particularly impressive are the cliffs around Hammershus, where the largest castle ruins in Northern Europe can be found. In the south, the fine, white sandy beach of Dueodde, one of the most beautiful beaches in Denmark, beckons.

There is also plenty to discover in the interior of the island: Almindingen Forest, one of the largest forests in the country, offers idyllic hiking trails and is home to a small herd of bison. Another highlight is the Ekkodalen gorge, which will delight you with its impressive echo.

Bornholm is a true paradise for those who prefer to actively explore an island. Thanks to a well-developed network of hiking and cycling trails, you can easily walk or cycle around the island and experience the breathtaking nature up close. Some of Bornholm's most beautiful natural highlights await you on your tour.

A special photo motif are the famous camel and lion heads, impressive rock formations on the coast that owe their name to their striking shapes. Continue to the idyllic Opal Lake, an emerald green lake in the middle of a former quarry - a real insider tip! Don't miss the Døndal waterfall, the highest waterfall in Denmark, which is particularly spectacular after rainfall. Another highlight are the Helligdomsklipperne, imposing cliffs on the north coast that rise steeply out of the sea.

Whether on foot or by bike - Bornholm can be explored in a sustainable and adventurous way.
