The cycle tour along the Bornholm coast is the shortest of the national routes, but we recommend that you spend a few days covering the 105 kilometers. There is much to experience on the rock island, which is to be the world's first energy island – a hub for intelligent green energy. You can look forward to culinary experiences, handicrafts, museums, ruins, lovely beaches and fantastic nature.
