Bornholm is one of the best cycling destinations in Denmark, with over 230 kilometres of dedicated paths that loop past medieval ruins, coastal cliffs, fishing villages and sandy beaches. The best routes include the 105 km Coastal Route around the entire island, the short scenic ride from Allinge to Hammershus, and the eastern stretch from Gudhjem to Svaneke. The season runs May through September, and bikes — including electric — are easy to rent in any town.
