National route 10 or Bornholm around is 104.5 km along the Bornholm coast, and is the shortest of the Danish national routes. There is a lot to experience on Bornholm, which is to be the world’s first energy island – a hub for intelligent green energy.
You can look forward to culinary experiences, handicrafts, museums, ruins, lovely beaches and fantastic nature. The trip can be completed by the experienced exerciser in 4-5 hours without stopping.
Part of the trip takes place on gravel and forest roads, so we advise cycling on a touring bike, gravel bike or mountain bike.
If you want to experience the many attractions and the unique nature along the way, we have made a suggestion of 4 daily stages of between 20 and 30 km.
National Route 10 can be divided into 4 stages:
Stage 1 – National Route 10 – Rønne to Allinge
Stage 2 – National Route 10 – Allinge to Svaneke
