No other island in Denmark has so many nicknames as Bornholm. "The island of Contrasts", The Mediterranean in Scandinavia", and "Denmark's sunrise island" are just some of them. And for good reasons. Bornholm offers a very diverse wildlife, and the various holiday styles to choose from are extensive. There are charming youth hostels and campingsites, guest houses, holiday cottages and flats, beautiful hotels and holiday parks: something for every purse. Quaint towns and picturesque fishing hamlets are strung out like pearls all over the island. Everywhere you turn, past and present converge. Although much can be written about Bornholm it never quite measures up to a personal encounter with the island.
