Introduction
Gudhjem is Bornholm's most charming fishing village in the Baltic, red-roofed houses stepping down a granite slope to the harbour — among Denmark's sunniest corners. The village is famed for smoked herring ('sol over Gudhjem'), its port full of painted wooden boats, stone lanes keeping an old fishing-port texture. From here ferries sail to Sweden and Christiansø; it is also the start of island cycling and craft-beer tasting — the face of Bornholm's slow life.
