Cycling day trip from Rønne to Nexø

This is a great ride for anyone exploring Bornholm! Start your journey in Rønne, the island’s largest town and the main ferry port, known for its cozy harbor, half-timbered houses, and relaxed vibe. You’ll mostly cruise on smooth asphalt—perfect for easy pedaling—following dedicated cycleways almost all the way, so you don’t have to worry about busy roads.

The route is about 40 kilometers end-to-end, with gentle ups and downs (you’ll barely notice the climbing), and plenty of gorgeous Bornholm scenery along the way. Look out for sweeping coastal views and picturesque countryside, and make sure to stop along the way for photos or a snack.

You’ll end up in Nexø, Bornholm’s second-largest town, famous for its history as a fishing port and lively harbor atmosphere. Nexø is a great place to grab a coffee, wander by the waterfront, or check out the local smokehouses. Whether you’re riding for the scenery, the fresh air, or just a chilled day out, this ride between Rønne and Nexø is Bornholm cycling at its best!
