A wheelchair holiday on Bornholm? No problem. Bornholm has fantastic nature, first-class restaurants, high-quality food production, exciting handicraft displays and much more.
We want to inspire people with disabilities, their families and companions to visit Bornholm. Places, where people with disabilities can stay, are found all over the island, from the southern beaches of Bornholm to the rocky north.
Some beaches, such as the beach in Balka, have wooden footpaths right up to the water, so you can easily reach the sea by pram or wheelchair.
While on vacation in Bornholm, you can enjoy the wonderful surroundings and go on a trip to exciting attractions in the area. Get inspired by new and exciting experiences where you don't have to worry about wheelchair accessibility.
For example, you can visit museums, the Brændesgårdshaven (Joboland) amusement park and many natural attractions. If you are into arts and crafts, there are many exciting places around Bornholm. Visit great museums and see interesting exhibitions. In addition to their regular collection, art museums often organize special exhibitions where you can experience new artistic experiences.
In many parts of the island, there are small workshops and galleries where artisans showcase and sell their work. You can come to some of them and see the workshops where craftsmen create beautiful works.
Hammershus Visitor Center
The exhibition is wheelchair accessible and you can learn about the history of the medieval Hammershus Castle. Apart from the exhibition about the castle, the building has a cafe and lecture rooms. From the long outside terrace, you have a wonderful view of the castle. From there, a long bridge leads down the ravine to the castle ruins.

Unfortunately, there are many attractions in Bornholm that we will not visit in a wheelchair.
Bornholms Museum
No wheelchair access. Already at the footpath, there are steep stone stairs and there is no elevator between the floors of the building.
Dueodde
Dueodde Beach is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. A few years ago, a footbridge was created through the dunes, which is no longer suitable for wheelchair users. The footbridge stops 50 meters from the beach. There is no platform at the end where you can turn around or park several wheelchairs without interfering with the rest of the traffic. The sand is not removed, so in several places, along the way, the footbridge disappeared into the sand between the dunes.
In Bornholm's nature, we can see and reach many beautiful and varied landscapes and reachable in a wheelchair. Often in forests and plantations, there are paths that can be used as you walk under the beautiful green canopy of trees. These green oases can be great on hot days when you need to cool off. There is always something to see and experience in forests and plantations, regardless of the season.
On the beach, you can enjoy the sea view and the beautiful white sand. Many beaches have good conditions for disabled people in the form of parking lots, disabled toilets and beach access. Enjoy the sea breeze and beautiful nature in any season. The beautiful sea is breathtaking and the whole family can have great experiences here. You can swim, build beautiful sandcastles and enjoy collecting shells and beautiful stones by the coast. It is also likely to find amber in the winter months after a storm or strong winds. Amber is yellow or orange and knows that it is lighter than stone and has a more hollow sound when you tap it lightly.

Wheelchair users and prams can travel along the forest paths, but please note that the western part of Almindingen is very hilly.
