The steamer plying between Copenhagen and the island of Bornholm
(every evening except Sun •, fares 8’/r, 41/; kr.) touches at Ystad on Wed.
and Sat. night. Bornholm belongs to Denmark, and lies about 60 Kil.
(37Ve Engl. HI.) to the S.E. of the Swedish mainland (3 hrs. from Ystad).
It is about 230 Engl. sq. HI. in area, and contains 35,000 inhab., whose
chief resources are agriculture and the digging of the porcelain-clay used
in the famous manufactories of Copenhagen. Rönne, the capital, lies on
the W. coast. The island is rocky and mountainous. The hill called
Ritter-knceglen and the Echodal in the interior are worthy of a visit. Between
Svaneke and Allinge on the N. coast are a number of picturesque and
imposing cliffs, including Randklöveskaaret, Helligdomsklipperne,
Gaaseren-den, Vaade Ovn, and Törre Ovn. The northernmost promontory is called
Hammeren, near which lies the ruin of Hammershnus.
