General presentation
Bornholm
Baltic island of cliffs, clear beaches, fishing villages, round churches and artisan workshops.
To understand what Bornholm is, you have to look at Hammershus, Dueodde and Gudhjem. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
