Wow, beautiful pictures. Looks like a paradise!
Freki presents Bornholm island
146
Far far away in the Baltic Sea lies a small Danish island, twice the size of Nantucket, with a population of only 40.000.
While fairly unknown to most of the world it is a popular vacation destination for Germans, Danes and Swedes as it offers a nice mix of sandy beaches, calm nature and cozy villages.
To Danes it's popular for 2 main reasons - the first being as it has bedrock ( the rest of Denmark is old coral reef without bedrock ) and the second is that it's the island in the kingdom that get's the most sunshine.
Other famous things are the castle ruins, trolls, the rocking stone, smoked herring and bisons..
Anyways enough chatter, here's some pictures from me and my gf's trip there doing the summer of 2017

^thanks mate!
It's just a short ferry trip from Ystad if interested
( Danes typically drive through southern Sweden to get there as it's faster than the slow ferry from Køge )

Indeed - as it's the only Danish island with bedrock ( Greenland and the Faroe islands not included ) it was the only national source for granite used for sidewalks, buildings, streets and so on..
( these days we import it cheaper from other countries - but rock was an export until recently
