Bornholm, Denmark

We sailed the short distance from Christianso to Bornholm, Denmark. Bornholm is a much larger island with about 45,000 residents. We landed on the eastern shore at the town of Allinge. Compared to Christianso, Bornholm felt like a bustling metropolis.

We took a beautiful hike along the shoreline in a light mist and heavy fog. It reminded many of Scotland or Wales. We ended our trek at the ruins of the medieval castle, Hammershus. The ruins and collapsed towers emerging from the mist made for an amazing experience.





After the long hike we returned to the village for a traditional Baltic meal:



Smoked herring and a local beer. The herring is good but boney. I learned after the fact how to pull the backbone from the flesh and remove most the bones.
