What’s happening during the autumn holiday

The autumn holiday is a wonderful time to experience Bornholm together. In Denmark, the school autumn holiday falls in week 42. The forests are full of deep colours, the sea follows you along the coast, and experiences for both children and adults await across the island.

Explore Almindingen, walk along the rocky coast or spend the day at one of the island’s attractions. When the weather changes, continue indoors with animals, history, creativity, play and culture.

Here we have gathered inspiration for an autumn holiday on Bornholm, with room for both planned experiences and little detours along the way.
