Route – places along the way
A peaceful southern stretch of Bornholm – from the sandy beaches of Dueodde, through historic villages, a vineyard, and coastal harbours, all the way to the island's capital. Below are the stops from start to finish.
The final stage begins at the southernmost point of Bornholm, famous for its exceptionally fine white sand and crystal-clear water. The route heads west, inland.
The Slusegård watermill dates from the early 19th century and was listed as a heritage site in 1956. It served as a grain mill and a trout farm. Nearby you'll find Pure Rainforest Chocolate Café – a café offering handmade organic chocolates.
Kirkemøllen in Pedersker, built in 1861, is the oldest stone mill on Bornholm. The church dates to around 1100 AD – one of the oldest on the island. Nearby lies Rispebjerg – a 2,000-year-old Iron Age ring fortress and a Stone Age sun temple.
Lille Gadegård vineyard offers guided tours through the vines and production buildings, ending with a tasting of local wines. Bornholm's mild microclimate favours grape growing – this is one of the most celebrated spots on the island.
A charming sandy beach on the south coast with distinctive fishing huts. From the main road you can see the Skelbro limestone quarry with its fossils. Follow the Risebæk stream to reach a small waterfall (2.5 m). In spring the banks are covered with blooming wood anemones.
One of Bornholm's three island harbours with its own fish smokehouse. Arnager is known for the longest wooden pier over seawater in Northern Europe. A perfect place to stop for freshly smoked herring before the last stretch.
The Bornholm Rundt loop is complete! Store Torv, the capital's main square, comes alive every Wednesday and Saturday with a market selling local produce. The perfect place to end your cycling journey around the island – with a sense of accomplishment and a head full of memories.
