Bornholm in the summer is full of beautiful gems just waiting to be explored. Here you find a few tips for unique summer experiences for the whole family.
Bornholm’s unique nature is a vast playground with climbing frames, sandboxes, and slides you won’t experience anywhere else in Denmark.
On Bornholm, you can climb rocks, but having fun in the treetops is possible if you visit Nature Park in Rø Plantage, where climbing paths are in the trees. Here are courses with several levels of difficulty so that everyone can join. The place also offers disc golf, soccer golf and a quiz maze.
Everywhere along the Bornholm coast, you will find fine sandy beaches just waiting to be occupied by knights and princess castles. It is always possible to find a beach sheltered from the wind, pack a picnic and set off for new adventures.
Children love to play with water and look for hidden treasures. On Bornholm, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the fishing net in lakes and ponds full of life. End the day with a bonfire at one of the island’s nature playgrounds. You can also find small fine stones you can paint on and take home as a cosy holiday memory.
Did you know Bornholm is the only place where dinosaurs have lived in Denmark? Visit the beach below Hasle Røgeri and walk towards Kultippen. It is possible to find traces of prehistoric animals.
Take the children on a fossil hunt, see if you are lucky, or visit NaturBornholm and see their exciting exhibition about dinosaurs and the island’s creation.
Of course, you must visit Hammershus, an impressive view of the high cliffside facing the sea. Suppose you go to Hammeren and the Opal Lake a little further north. In that case, you get a unique experience on Denmark’s wildest zipline. The old granite quarry, which has become the Opal Lake, is one of Bornholm’s most beautiful places. With 290 meters, the zipline is Denmark’s longest, so a great ride awaits you.
For small children, the zipline in Brændesgårdshaven is probably more suitable. In the old garden, you can also experience hand-powered carousels, a small zoo, and an outdoor water park for children and adults.
Bornholm offers much, so pack your suitcase and explore the summer island. It is quick and easy to get here by boat.
