ACCOMPANYING COMPANIONS

If there is any accompanying family with delegates, we will ofcourse rent a little bus and show them a good time around the island in the daytime, while the Conference is beeing held.
We also have plans to have a smaller car/bus follow us around in Copenhagen for easyer shuttle-service to/from the Airport.

ABOUT THE AREA

We have so many exiting places and things on our island.
The island is 25x30 km "big"
We have beaches with sand so fine they used to use it in "time-glases" all over Europe. I dont know the translation for that, but you know the things to measure time with. The ones were sand runs trough a tiny hole between two glass"bubbles"
We have Denmarks 3rd biggest forrest with a big functional radarstation, pointed at the former USSR, from "The cold war" with 3 big radars visible from a viewpoint.
Big cliffcoasts, some 50 meters high.
The biggest castle-ruin in Scandinavia.
We have some amazing round churches, that some believe was built by the "Knight Tempplars". National Geographic has had a whole programme with them, and some historics say that the biggest of them could actually hide The Holy Grail ! Not wery likely, but interesting in these "Da Vinci Code" times.
We have a lot of history and places that "tells a story" from the time we were occopied in WW2, first from the Germans, and then a year from the Russians. We were, as the only place in Denmark heavily bombed in 1945.
We have fantastic nature all a round us here on Bornholm, so there should be more than enough for a couple of days !

All transport, lunches with beverages, refreshments, fruit, water during conference hours, morning and afternoon coffee, conference dinner, and dinner Sunday are included.

Beverages at the bar after the conference dinner and dinner Sunday are not included.
