In this even we will explore the Danish island of Bornholm.
**General Plan**
Once we arrive in Rönne we will proceed with exploring the city. Among other things we will visit the famous Pottery museum Hjorts fabrik:
https://bornholmsmuseum.dk/en/visit/hjorths-fabrik/
After visiting the city we will take break to eat. Once we have eaten we will rent bikes to continue our trip to the north of the island. A bike costs 100 DKK for a simple one. If you want an electric it is 200 DKK minimum. You can check the details here:
https://borcy.dk/collections/klassiske-cykler
There should quite a few bikes available at arrival. However, it will save you some time if you book online a day or two in advance. That way, they can have the bikes ready for you, and you won’t need to spend time entering contact details, making payment, etc. Cancellations are free up to 72 hrs before pickup. After that, the amount is non-refundable.
Once we have eaten and retrieved the bike we will go and visit the following places:
- Hammershus
- Opalsö
- Allinge-Sandvik
- Döndalen
- Gudhjem (if time permits)
- Sankt Ols church (if time permits)
There is a zipline in Opalsö (

**Traveling**
We will meet in Ystad before going on the ferry. Due to limited amount of ferries, we will take the ferry at 8:30 am. You can book the ticket on site or online (
https://www.bornholmslinjen.com/booking/summary). It costs around 600 SEK for a return ticket. If this is too early for you, you can skip the Rönne part of the trip and join us later for our exploration of the rest of the island.
In case you are joining later, we will inform you in our Whatsapp group:

about where and when we will meet in Rönne to continue the exploration.
For those coming to Ystad with car there should be long time parking options available close to the ferry terminal. You can check the alternatives here:

For the return trip we will take the 20:30 ferry (which is the last ferry) back to Ystad. If this is too late for you, there is an earlier ferry at 18:30.
Important to note:
Even if you can book the ticket on site the same day, its highly recommended to book it online in advance as the ferry can otherwise get full. You have the possibility to switch to either an earlier or a later departure time depending on availability, additional charge may be added when changing from original departure time.
