Gudhjem
A colourful fishing village built up a steep hillside, with lanes running down to the harbour. It is the home of the smoked herring dish 'Gudhjem Sunrise'.
Gudhjem means 'God's home'. Its houses cascade down the steep hillside to the small harbour, with red roof tiles and colourful walls set off by flowers. It is Bornholm's most photogenic town. The tall white chimney of the Gudhjem Røgeri (smokehouse) by the harbour is a landmark. Its signature dish, 'Gudhjem Sunrise', is smoked herring served with a raw egg yolk, onion and radish. The town also has a glass workshop, a windmill and the Oluf Høst Museum, and the boats to Christiansø depart from here. You can climb the hill behind the town for a view over the harbour.
