Holiday in Arnager - the fishing village with the longest wooden bridge in Denmark
In Arnager, you will find Scandinavia's longest wooden bridge. This connects the island port, which is 200 meters from land in the sea, with the mainland. An island port was chosen to avoid silting of the harbour. The vast majority of the inhabitants of Arnager used to make their living from farming and fishing. Today, there are only amateur fishermen who maintain the traditions long held in this area. Keeping these traditions alive is important and has helped the town to retain its original character. The small smokehouse in Arnager needs the fresh Baltic fish to roast the tasty, golden-yellow herrings for which Bornholm is so well-known so it is a good job that there are still so many keen fishermen in the area! We would recommend sampling some of the aromatic yet delicate smoked fish during your stay in one of our hand-picked range of holiday rentals in Denmark.
