Bornholm mountain stages
Denmark has no mountains, but that doesn’t mean Bornholm can’t offer challenging climbs. According to Bornholm cyclist Magnus Cort, Bornholm actually offers Denmark’s toughest hill, ‘Vang Hill’, which has a gradient of 7.5%.
In fact, every year, in late May, a mountain race, Bornholms Bjergløb – Bornfondo – is organised, starting and finishing in Gudhjem, which, with its location down a steep cliff, is one of Denmark’s most unique towns.
The mountain race also offers the opportunity to try your hand at Denmark’s biggest and wildest single start, so if you have a little Tour de France rider inside you waiting to get out, just grab your polka dot jersey, throw your bike on the car and head for Bornholm.
