Cycling Through History: My Ultimate Bornholm Island Excursion
Why Visit Bornholm? # The distinct aroma of smoked herring drifts from neighborhood smokehouses across the island, mixing with the sharp scent of pine and salt spray from the Baltic Sea. Bornholm sits isolated far to the east of the Danish mainland, closer to Sweden and Poland than to Copenhagen, and this geographic independence shapes everything from its landscape to its slow-paced daily life. Massive granite cliffs drop sharply into deep blue water along the northern coast, while the southern edge features wide, white-sand beaches so fine that the sand was historically used in hourglasses.
