Allinge/Sandvig (Denmark)

Allinge-Sandvig is a twin town on the northern tip of the Danish island of Bornholm. 

Allinge (southern) and Sandvig (northern) grew together into a single place.

 

They were originally medieval fishing villages near Hammershus Castle. 

Later, granite quarrying was added; today, tourism is the main source of income. 

Allinge has a lively harbor, a røgeri (smokehouse), and the annual political festival Folkemødet. 

Sandvig is smaller, with a sandy beach and old half-timbered houses, and is located closer to the ruins of Hammershus (the largest medieval castle in Northern Europe) and the Hammeren Cliffs. 

Between the two parts lie the Bronze Age rock carvings of Madsebakke, the largest in Denmark. 

The atmosphere is charming and busy in the summer, with restaurants, hotels, and walking routes along the granite coast.
