Here’s what you can do during your holiday

You’ll find long sandy beaches with some of the finest sand in Europe. Go hiking on coastal paths that lead you through harsh, raw and unspoiled nature along the Baltic Sea. Or enjoy a tasty gourmet dinner for two in one of Bornholms lovely restaurants. See our guides further down.
