On Bornholm by Bike

The Bornholm coastline is approximately 140 kilometres long. And the cycle routes on the island are more than 100 kilometres longer. There is no question of a monotonous landscape. In the north there are high cliffs, in the south, you can swim in the azure waters, just like on Majorca. Bornholm on a bike is a real paradise.

Bornholm is above all a cyclist's island. Not only because there are more bikes than cars, but also because the locals and road users respect cycling. On almost every road you will see dark green signs with the word cykelvej (cycle path), with names and distances. Sometimes you get the impression that on Bornholm cycling has won out over motor vehicles after all 1/3 of the cycle paths have been built on the former tracks of the Bornholm railway.

The total length of the cycle routes on Bornholm is about 235 kilometres, and the island's ring road is about 105 kilometres long. The extremes from north to south are 40 km apart, and from east to west the distance is 30 km.
