Bornholm's cycling guide - National Route 10, stage 3
Length: 29.9 km
Surface: Asphalt with 0.5 km of gravel road
National route 10 goes around Bornholm. Stage 2 starts in Allinge and follows the cliffs of the northeast coast down towards Denmark’s most beautiful market town of Svaneke.
From Allinge, the route goes through the hip fishing port of Tejn with street food, a microbrewery and a bakery. On the winding road towards Gudhjem, you pass Døndalen (Denmark’s highest waterfall) and the striking Helligdomsklipper. The archipelago town of Gudhjem is a charming challenge both up and down by bike. Towards Svaneke, the road leads past the rocky gorge Randkløve Skår and the small fishing villages of Bølshavn and Listed, until it finally flattens out towards the winding and artistic Svaneke.
