Suggestions for cycling tours on Bornholm

Bornholm is a perfect island for cycling. If you experience Bornholm by bike, you will get closer to the island’s beautiful and varied nature than if you would sit in a car or a bus.
We are part of the Bornholm Outdoor Friends and can e.g. give you some useful suggestions for cycling routes. You can rent a bycycle at Nordbornholms Cykelforretning.

Discover Bornholm’s northernmost point Hammer

From Allinge, it’s not far to Sandvig, where the Hammerknuden starts. Go for a hike and enjoy views you wouldn’t think were in Denmark. This is also where Hammershus castle ruin is located.
From Hammerhavnen (Sæne Havn) there is an exciting boat trip along the rocky coast to e.g. rock cave Våde Ovn (Wet Oven).

Hammershus

Hammershus Castle dates from the 13th century and is located on the northernmost part of Bornholm. The ruin is always worth a historical visit.
In connection with Hammershus is the newly built visitor centre, where the view of Hammershus and the rocky coast is completely unique.
The visitor center is donated by A.P. Møller Fonden, opened in 2018 and the building has already achieved international recognition and won international architectural competitions.

Christiansø

Christiansø and Frederiksø, plus a few uninhabited islets – this is Denmark’s easternmost point. And it is here the Danish king Christian V in 1684 built the sea fortress Christiansø to defend Denmark’s interests in the Baltic Sea area.
Today you can visit the old sea fortress with Christiansøfarten’s ferry from Gudhjem. The crossing takes approx. 1 hour – and then you can experience a centuries old atmosphere of pirates and soldiers.

Play golf on Bornholm

Bornholm is an obvious holiday destination for golfers. The island has four golf courses: Two in Rø, one in Rønne and one in Nexø. There is max. 30 minutes drive to the courses, that are challenging and very different in difficulty.
Hotel Allinge is happy to put together your unique golf holiday.
