Travel guide Bornholm
Holiday to Bornholm
The Danish Baltic Sea island Bornholm awaits its guests with fine sandy beaches and dunes in the south and rugged coasts in the north. The small towns exude maritime flair, the interior of the island is characterised by forests, heathland and glacial cleft valleys.
TOP excursion destinations to Bornholm
The island’s capital, Rønne, is considered very tranquil with its colourful half-timbered houses and narrow old town streets. The City and Garden Museum provides insights into the life and culture of the 19th century.
Bornholm’s landmarks are four round churches that were built between 1150 and 1250. They owe their good state of preservation to the robust Bornholm granite. Their brilliant white is refreshed every year before Whitsun.
Hammershus Castle sits imposingly enthroned on a 74-meter-high cliff above the Baltic Sea. It dates from the 12th century and is considered the largest medieval castle ruin in northern Europe. At the foot of the castle, visitors will find exciting rock formations resembling camel and lion heads in a small bay.
Due to its central position in the Baltic Sea, the island Bornholm has several lighthouses. At the northernmost tip, the lighthouses Hammerfyr and Hammerodde Fyr show the way safely, and in the far south the imposing Dueodde Fyr. Bornholm’s lighthouses promise beautiful photo opportunities and some can be visited.
On Bornholm, culturally interested visitors will find rock paintings dating back thousands of years to the Bronze Age. The so-called petroglyphs are found on large erratic blocks and mostly show ships and wheel crosses.
Fascinating witnesses to the past are the bauta and rune stones that can be found all over the island. Carved by man, they date from various settlement periods on the island. While the building stones are roughly hewn stone steles, the rune stones tell of the life of the islanders.
A trip to the Pea Islands from Bornholm is well worthwhile. The main island of Christiansø has an impressive fortress and a rich bird life.
Melting glaciers of the Ice Age left deep crevasses in the earth’s surface on Bornholm and created unique natural spaces. The largest of these cleft valleys is the 12 kilometre long Ekkodalen. The echo that reverberates off the mighty cliffs here gave the valley its name.
With a height of over 20 metres, Døndalen is considered the highest waterfall in Denmark.
