NATURE

With huge white sandy beaches in the south stretching to abrupt rocky formations in the north, Bornholm is an extraordinary beautiful place to go on adventures. On the middle of the island you find Paradisbakkerne (Paradise hills). Despite the island is not flat, there are bikepaths everywhere. Bring your bike and walking shoes … and maybe your swimsuit …

Dueodde Strand. Bornholm offers one of the most beautiful white beaches in the north.

SMOKEHOUSES

Herring, especially smoked herring is the prime food attraction in Bornholm. In particular "Sol over Gudhjem" is a all-time favorite. But the characteristic smokehouses, you find all over the island, are famous for all their fresh seafood … that said, Bornholm also offers many other interesting discoveries into gastronomy and you even find a Michelin star restaurant on the island: Kadeau …

Sol over Gudhjem (Sun over Gudhjem) is close to a national dish on Bornholm and Gudhjem is one of the small villages on the costal line worth a visit.
Hallegaard is a famous butcher very close to the Camping, here you find a farm house restaurant in the charming backyard – the charcutterie is made by heart … truly woth a visit!

VILLAGES

All over the coastline in Bornholm you find small wonderfull villages like pearls on a string: Svanke, Allinge, Gudhjem. And especially along the coast line the scenery is beatiful and breathtaking. We stay just outside Svaneke wish is inviting and one of the best places to be.

From Gudhjem you can also take the day cruise ferry to Christians Ø - wish is the absolute easternmost Danish Island. A small Island worth a visit. It also holds the herritage from the popular marinated Herring: "Christians Ø Sild".

HAMMERSHUS

On the rocky ground in the north you find Hammershus – the remains of the historically interesting Castle Hammershus. The location is a scenery in itself, but it is also possible to drop by the new visitor center to dive into the full interactive story of the impressing place.

WHERE DO WE STAY?

We gather in one of the most authentic camping in Bornholm. Hullehavn Camping is located directly on the rocky coast, it is a quite small family driven, and Elsebeth and Kim is offering you a "hyggelig" and personal atmosphere. Right beside you find a tiny music café and a little nice sandy beach. All just a 10 min walk from one of the nicest villages Svaneke …

Cafe Syd-Øst for Paradis offers relaxing atmosphere with a view and daily live music from 18.00 to 22.00 … (Photo: Syd-Øst for Paradis)
Dont miss out on a swim from the small beach. The water is crystal clear.

SATURDAY NIGHT BARBECUE

We gather for a great informal barbecue at Hullehavn Camping. Food will be taken care of - also vegetarian options. You only need to bring your smile, drinks and maybe a sweater.

After dinner we (might) join the neighbor Syd-Øst for Paradis for drinks and live music – if you fancy. Or stays and enjoy cosiness on the Camping

HOW DO WE GET THERE?

IT IS EASY TO COME TO BORNHOLM

Despite Bornholm is the easternmost island in Denmark: it is not difficult to get there. You can choose from different ferry routes to bring you there. Sassnitz (Germany) is a 3h 20m hours trip from Rügen to Rønne, Køge is 5h 30m but if you are already this far you should not miss out on spending some time in wonderfull Copenhagen and instead take the fastest ferry from Ystad (Sweden) – it is fast – just 1h 20m.

NO MATTER what you deside to do, the ferry company is the same. But be on the safe side – book as soon as possible. www.bornholmslinjen.com
