Exploring the coast of Bornholm, I start at the beach at Dueodde on the southernmost tip of the island with its fine, white sand.
I then turn my tour northwards, visiting quaint little fishing villages along the way. Bornholm used to be big on fishing, particularly herring, and many picturesque fishing villages dot the coast. Characteristic of them are traditional houses with visible beams, houses built of stone, smokehouse chimneys and scrumptious smoked herring and other smoked fish served in the restaurants.
Since Bornholm is a small island, the distance to the water is never great. The abundance of light reflected from the water makes the island attractive to artists. The fishing villages have now become trendy, artsy towns that attract camera-toting tourists like me. Now, the fishing industry has come almost to a standstill and much of the herring are bought from Polish fishermen before being smoked on Bornholm.
