The inland area covers Bornholm’s forests and rural landscapes and is characterised by woodland, rocky terrain and some of the island’s most important cultural traces. It differs clearly from the coastal areas and is particularly known for its large natural areas, ancient fortresses, round churches and good opportunities for nature experiences throughout the year.

At the heart of the inland area lies Almindingen, one of Denmark’s largest forests and a central destination for excursions on Bornholm. The forest includes well-known sites such as Ekkodalen, the island’s longest rift valley, as well as the ruins of Gamleborg and Lilleborg, which bear witness to the island’s early defensive history. Almindingen also offers viewpoints, lakes and a dense network of paths, making the area especially well suited to walking and cycling.

The inland area is also home to Bornholm’s distinctive round churches, scattered across the landscape and serving as important cultural and historical landmarks.

In areas such as Paradisbakkerne, Rutsker Højlyng and Rø Plantage, visitors encounter varied and attractive natural scenery with cliffs, fissures and large rock formations, while villages such as Aakirkeby and Østerlars act as natural focal points within the inland area. Overall, the inland area is widely used for nature-based experiences – from quiet walks in the forest and historical trails to more active excursions in the landscape.
