There are many primitive shelters on Bornholm. There are places where you can pitch your own tent on a primitive campsite and other places where you can use a primitive shelter. A shelter is usually a log cabin with an opening and a plank floor that is raised above the ground.
Shelters only offer a "roof over your head" without any facilities such as water or a toilet, which are usually found near shelters. Each such shelter has space for 5-8 people. The shelter can be used for one night and costs nothing. Visitors are expected to leave their belongings tidy.
Camping can only take place in wooded areas in selected forests.
1. You may only stay one night at the same place.
2. A maximum of two tents may be pitched at the same site.
3. Tents must not exceed three people.
