Bornholm

Bornholm

The 587 square kilometre island of Bornholm lies about 150 kilometres east of peninsular Denmark. The most densely forested of the nation's counties, this idyllic island is among Denmark's best-loved holiday retreats. Its picturesque landscape, including dramatic coastal vistas and rich farmland as well as peaceful and serene woodland, is criss-crossed with bicycle routes--more than 200 kilometres of them in all. On the island's southern shore, long, white sandy beaches extend kilometre after kilometre.

Attractions

The natural diversity and the beautiful towns and buildings of Bornholm have been inspiring artists for even longer. For more than 150 years the island's extraordinary light--a consequence of Bornholm's situation in the middle of the Baltic Sea--has captivated the painterly eye. The island's Art Museum exhibits works from many of the artists of the Bornholm school of art.

Activities

Among the diverse activities offered on the island, fishing and golfing have become particularly popular. Bornholm has three good, well-kept, and vastly different 18-hole golf courses, all located within 25 kilometres of each other. For many of the island's guests, the highlight of a visit is a long anticipated and highly dramatic struggle with a wild Bornholm salmon or sea trout. With more than 100 kilometres of coastline, an undisturbed spot to cast your line is always available.
