Bonholm is the island most Danes choose to spend some days during their summer vacations.

Adrenaline seekers should try a mountain bike tour at one of the most beautiful forests in Denmark, Rold Skov.

Choose the one that fits your taste and abilities best and travel through ancient beech trees and springs. Campsites can be found all over the alluring forest, but you can also set your tent in specific places and spend the night while meeting other adventurers and nature lovers.
