Bornholm is beautiful from land …but completely unforgettable from the seaside
Bornholm is beautiful from land …but completely unforgettable from the seaside
Experience the rocky island from the seaside Bornholm is something special. A rocky island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, where granite, sea and sky meet in a dramatic coastal landscape unlike anywhere else in Denmark. Here, cliffs rise straight out of the sea, medieval castles rest on rocky hilltops, and small, atmospheric harbours lie like sheltered pockets between the raw forces of nature. If you want to experience Bornholm in the most spectacular way, you should see the island from the water. Bornholms Bådfart sails daily along Bornholm’s northern coast and shows you the island’s most iconic natural attractions from the front row. Read more about tours and departure times at
Hammerhavn – the heart of Bornholms Bådfart
Hammerhavn is one of Bornholm’s most atmospheric places. The old granite harbour lies sheltered beneath Hammerknuden and forms the setting for all sailings with Bornholms Bådfart. From here, we sail along the wild rocky coastline, past the distinctive Camel Heads and Lion Heads, beneath the ruins of the majestic Hammershus, and all the way out to the impressive Jons Chapel. From the seaside, the landscape opens up in an entirely new way. The cliffs stand like nature’s own sculptures, the sea mirrors the sky, and the stories of Bornholm come alive as our lively skippers share tales of the island, the Bornholmers, and the dramatic formations of the coast, seasoned with local anecdotes. A boat trip from Hammerhavn is not just an excursion. It is an experience that stays with you.
