Bornholm offers mountain biking experiences you won’t find in many other places in Denmark. The island’s cliffs, forests, and elevation changes create varied terrain with experiences and challenges for both beginners and experienced riders.
If you stay at Feriecenter Bornholm near Allinge, you can easily make mountain biking an active part of your holiday.
What makes mountain biking on Bornholm special is the terrain. Here, forest trails meet Bornholm’s bedrock, and the island’s natural elevation changes create a ride with climbs, turns, cliffs, and fun descents.
Especially in Almindingen, you get really close to nature. One moment you’re riding between the trees, the next across the rocks—and along the way you can challenge both your technique and fitness.
There are experiences for different levels. As a beginner, you can choose the easier trails and get a fun introduction to mountain biking, while experienced riders can head for the more technical challenges.
You set the pace yourself. Spend a couple of hours on the bike, or make mountain biking one of the big highlights of your holiday.
That makes the island ideal for both active holiday days and peaceful rides in nature.

The area is popular with both locals and visitors who want to combine their holiday with active experiences.
If you’re new to mountain biking, start out easy and choose trails that match your level. If you’re experienced, there are plenty of opportunities to find bigger technical challenges.
The great thing about experiencing mountain biking on Bornholm is that the ride can easily be just one part of a holiday day.
Spend the morning on the trails in Almindingen, get your pulse up and mud on your tyres, and then swap your cycling shoes for holiday pace.
Back on North Bornholm, the rest of the day can be spent by the coast, in Allinge, at a café or restaurant, or with a relaxing afternoon at the holiday centre.
And if it’s only some of the family who dream of mountain biking, the rest don’t need to join on the trails. They can head off on their own experiences while the riders are out, and you can meet up again later in the day.
That gives you the freedom to holiday together without everyone needing to experience Bornholm in the same way.
