Book ahead to experience one of Denmark's most exciting and innovative destination res-
taurants. The menu is a confident, creative celebration of Nordic produce and foraged in-

Take note that although Kadeau's address is in Åkirkeby, the restaurant is actually 8km

Interior Woodlands
A fifth of Bornholm is wooded, making it the most forested county in Denmark. Beech,
fir, spruce, hemlock and oak are dominant. There are three main areas, each laid out with
walking trails (you can pick up free maps at tourist offices). A single bicycle trail connects
them all.
Almindingen
, the largest forest (2412 hectares), is in the centre of the island and can be

, which has a lookout tower called Kongemindet from where
you can view the surrounding countryside.
Paradisbakkerne
(Paradise Hills) contains wild deer and a trail that passes an ancient
monolithic gravestone. It's 2km northwest of Nexø.
Rø Plantage
, about 5km southwest of
Gudhjem, has a terrain of heather-covered hills and woodlands.
Dueodde
Dueodde, the southernmost point of Bornholm, is a vast stretch of breathtaking beach
backed by deep green pine trees and expansive dunes. Its soft sand is so fine-grained that it
was once used in hourglasses and ink blotters.
There's no real village at Dueodde - the bus stops at the end of the road where there's a
hotel, a casual steakhouse restaurant, a couple of food kiosks and a boardwalk across the
