Bornholm: Crafts and Sunshine on the Danish Isle

The homespun island oasis has inspired many
an expat, and always has room for one more.
We hear it’s particularly nice in the fall.

'Plant a motley crew of creatives from Copenhagen on a rocky but fertile island in the Baltic Sea and you’ll end up with the kind of artisanal scene currently booming on Bornholm. It’s not difficult to understand why the Danish isle, located just south of Sweden and otherwise filled with farmers and fishermen, appeals to urbanites: Here, windswept beaches of sand so fine it’s literally used in hourglasses give way to rolling, grassy fields dotted with thatch-roofed farmhouses. Then there are the charming port towns complete with traditional wooden smokehouses, ceramics ateliers and ice cream parlors.'>>>
