Bicycles
If you want to see the beautiful Bornholm nature from a bicycle saddle, you can also rent good three-gear bicycles through us in collaboration with Nordbornholms Cykeludlejning. Please note that bicycles must be collected and delivered in Allinge, 2 km from Danhostel Sandvig, or an agreement for delivery and collection must be made. We strongly recommend that you take a bicycle helmet with you, as it is very hilly terrain you will be cycling in. For those who do not have a helmet, these can also be rented. Now don’t make too long cycling trips – many underestimate how hard it is to cycle on the hilly Nordbornholm.
