Bornholm Island Bornholm, part of Denmark and located to the east of it (and probably closer to Sweden), strikes the imagination of a lot of people. Already some 200 years ago, several painters came over to the island either to find their inspiration or to depict the beautiful rural scenery of the island, resulting in a permanent stay for a lot of them. The Bornholm School is still renowned for its still live. These days, a lot of visitors come over to Bornholm to enjoy the beaches, to bike around the island (some 100 likomteres) and to catch some fresh breath again in one of the many fields or forests or to wander around in one of the many picturesque villages. There are several interesting museums on the islands, such as Bornholms Museum with a collection on the cultural history of the islands and the ceramics museum. For botanical lovers, a visit to Erichsens Gård is a must. This is both a building and a garden dating from the beginning of the 19th century. If you want to have a lasting historical experience, go to Gudhjem where you can pay a visit to the Bornholms Middelaldercenter, 15 acres of 'authentic Medieval life'. There are plenty of ferry connections to the mainland of both Sweden en Denmark.
