Bornholm is well-known for its unique nature, its rocky cliffs, the beautiful and white sandy beaches – but Bornholm also offers many attractions and adventures for both adults and children. Some of the attractions are even free to visit, like Hammershus Castle Ruin and the new Visitor Center. Here at Northern Europes largest castle ruin, you can get an idea of how people lived on and reigned from such a large castle in the middle ages. You could also visit the buffalos deep in Almindingen forest – or take a day trip to Northern Europes first sea fortress Christiansø from 1684.
All these attractions are perfect for both families with children or just for the two of you.
