Summer gradually turns into an equally charming autumn in October on Bornholm, the idyllic Danish island. This change is marked by a magnificent play of colors as the leaves change hues from a lush green to a kaleidoscope of golds, oranges and reds. This scenery, unfolding against the picturesque backdrop of the Baltic Sea, offers an unforgettable panorama that fascinates nature and photography lovers alike.
Autumn on Bornholm, especially in October, is a recommended time to travel for those seeking tranquility. Compared to the high season in summer, the number of visitors decreases during these months, which allows for a quieter and more authentic experience on the island.
Bornholm, “a place surrounded by the sea, in winter and in summer”, as the Danish singer Peter Belli puts it in his song, offers a unique climate also in autumn. October can feature occasional rain showers and gray skies, while November often offers sunnier days. This constant change is a characteristic feature of the climate on this Baltic island and contributes to its charismatic atmosphere.
The autumn landscape on Bornholm is not only visually appealing, but also offers a variety of activities and events, especially during the Danish schools’ autumn vacations in the 42nd calendar week. Autumn festivals with pumpkin carving, bonfires and hikes through the colorful forests are just some of the highlights. The island’s nature trails invite you to go for walks and bike rides, while Bornholm’s towns offer a variety of art and cultural experiences.
In October and November the island changes and leaves the summer behind. However, the colors of autumn and the relaxed atmosphere make Bornholm an ideal destination for a quiet yet exciting vacation. Enjoy the warm autumn days and cool nights, explore the hidden treasures of the island and be enchanted by Bornholm’s nature and culture.
Discover Bornholm in autumn to experience its unique beauty and be fascinated by its colors, atmosphere and tranquility.
