Bornholm
The island is situated in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It is referred to as the ”Sunshine Island” because the island is one of the locations in Denmark with the most recorded hours of sunshine annually. It is called the the ”Island of Arts” because it is famous for having a flourishing community of artists and craftsmen, and finally, it is referred to as the ”Pearl of the Baltic Sea” due to the combination of artists, sunshine, nature and local produce which all add up to make the island unique. In recent years, Bornholm has become famous for its high-quality local produce, and it is the perfect place if you are on the look-out for culinary delights. Try for example freshly smoked herring from one of the Island’s smokehouses, a gourmet dinner during sunset at an exquisite restaurant, a locally brewed beer or a piece of delicious homemade chocolate. |
