Hallegård

One day we visited Hallegård Butcher and café, to have a lunch and taste some of their homemade sausages.

As we arrived, we were meet by the sight of happy piglets eating outside, and a cute little farmhouse that didn't show obvious traces of having a production or a cafe. But behind the little red door, there were lots of delicious fresh food and Bornholmian specialities, and we had hot dogs and tapas in the garden and I ended getting stung by a wasp.

I think I am becoming more and more a food tourist. Mainly because all the souvenirs, I put in the suitcase for back home, are food. So of cause I also got some edible things from Hallegård to take back to Germany.

Rønne

For being the biggest city on Bornholm, Rønne is a nice little city. It has a great mix of old and new, and the city square is really beautiful.

We spend one of the warmer afternoons there sitting in the midday sun and enjoying Bornholmian Tapas without any sign of wind or a cloud in the sky.

Øresund

Some pictures form the beautiful and sometimes crazy Baltic sea, the coast, the beach and the cliffs next to it. It was somehow so nice to be surrounded by water all the time, such a difference from the city.

Hammershus

I think that you have not really been to Bornholm if you have not visited Hammershus. At least it is one of the things, I always have heard about as one of the main attractions there.

I am not sure I exactly understood who had been living there and what was the use, but maybe it was mostly because I was focusing on the beautiful nature surrounding the place (It is indeed a great vantage point) and then the cute little hedgehog we meet on our way through the old ruin.

Gudhjem and Svakene

One thing I can't get over is how cute it is everywhere at Bornholm. With all the timber frame houses, the fig trees, the small streets and yellow all over.

We visited Gudhjem and Svaneke on the same day. Both towns are relatively small and near to each other so it was easily done.

In Gudhjem we met a very friendly cat on our way down to the harbor, such a beautiful and fluffy creature. And in Svaneke we looked at cute little stores around the square and had lunch at Svaneke Bryghus. Of cause with their own beer and beer mustard. Yum.
