Bornhom
This summer I spent 8 days in one of the most beautiful places, I have ever seen. It was denish Island - Bornholm. I am still overwhelmed by its wild nature, people and incredible, paceful atmosphere. Bornhom is a paradise for cycling tourists, so we rented bicycles also and visited places, using winding cycle paths, crisscrossing the island. it was rare to be able to follow so many recreational stretches, cycle paths with a sea view , passing old burial mounds and historical mills, through romantic fishing hamlets and along the cliffs ! According to legend , that I found in a guidebook : 'When God had finished creating Scandinavia, he was left with a little of all that was best in northern Europe. So he gathered it all and threw it into Baltic - and that is how Bornholm came about'. And so it is...:)

When to go
Considering its northern latitude, Denmark has a fairly mild climate all year round. Still, the winter months - cold and with short daylight hours - are certainly the least hospitable. Correspondingly, many tourist destinations come alive in late April, when the weather begins to warm up and the daylight hours start to increase, and by October they again become sleepers. May and June can be delightful months to visit: the earth is a rich green accented with fields of flowers, the weather is comfortable and you'll beat the rush of tourists. While autumn can be pleasant, it's not nearly as scenic because the rural landscape has largely turned to brown. High tourist season is July and August. There are open-air concerts, lots of street activity and basking on the beach. Other bonuses for travellers during midsummer are longer hours at museums and other sightseeing attractions. The last half of August can be a particularly attractive time to travel, as it still has summer weather but far fewer crowds.
