WHAT DOES BORNHOLM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bornholm

Bornholm is a Danish island in the Baltic Sea, to the east of most of Denmark, south of Sweden, and north of Poland. The main industries on the island include fishing, arts and crafts such as glass making and pottery using locally worked clay, and dairy farming. Tourism is important during the summer. The topography of the island consists of dramatic rock formations in the north sloping down towards pine and deciduous forests and farmland in the middle and sandy beaches in the south. Bornholm Regional Municipality covers the entire island. Bornholm was one of the three last Danish municipalities not belonging to a county— the others were Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. On 1 January 2007, the municipality lost its short-lived county status and became part of Region Hovedstaden. The small Ertholmene archipelago are located 18 km to the northeast of Bornholm. They belong neither to a municipality nor to a region but are administered by the Ministry of Defence. Strategically located in the Baltic Sea, Bornholm has been fought over for centuries. It has usually been ruled by Denmark, but also by Lübeck and Sweden.
