Bornholm ... for some still unknown, mysterious place to the other just ... Sweden. No kidding. As one of the most recently advertised islands, tempting by intriguing nature, the largest forest in Denmark and the miraculous, fairytale architecture, Bornholm became also a myth. Myth, which exceeded the size of the island. A legend in itself. Almost everyone know about it ... everything. Problems arise when it comes to get tourist facts.

No, Bornholm is not the place for loud parties or drunken consideration by the fire.

Yes, Bornholm is an oasis for those who value peace, bicycle tours, a bit of wildness and wonderful views.

No, Bornholm does not give you entertainment . You find it there by yourself. Everyone in a different way. It seems that this small, Danish island in the middle of Baltic Sea, a little rock is a riddle.

Bornholm is a place for those who don't fit to standards of todays world. World where You have to obey rules, but no one is judging. Like a magnet, attracting those who don't like extreme entertainment, and who would like to be ordinary and boring ... but thinking this way about the island would be a mistake.

By offering mountains and valleys, the fortress and small fishers villages, forests, ancient riddles, good roads and surprising people, Bornholm imposes conditions. Do not destroy me and accept that I'm alive. Because this island is home, which in couple of months is given to rent to tourists. And, in fact, behind covered windows are real people. Every of them look much younger than they really are. Women's hands are always busy, men hide behind walls and keep secrets ...

Bornholm. The island, known by almost everyone, is in fact different than all seem. Like the Great Goddess keeps her secrets turned into stone circles, tombs and ubiquitous works of human hands, which for many months of rain and wind, rough waves and disquiet, replace the sun. Because everyone here is an artist. Anyone can discover their own mission. Just ... talk. It is the only thing that tourists apparently do not. A pity ... Although they say about Bornholmians, that they reveal only a half percent of what they could say, are so surprising. Maybe it's becouse they often speak through their paintings and sculptures, colorful beads and crafts. Glass and knitting seem to be one big metaphor, a holy place and mandatory in every home is a room with ... easels.

Here's different Bornholm. You can't find it in the guides, beacuse it simply does not fit advertising frames. Colorful, natural, magical and extremely ordinary. Such a trip for little more than smile.
