1936 On the Continent

few thousand years out.
    Roskilde, 30 km., not a very interesting run, but the cathedral, the burial place of Danish kings, may interest.
    Bornholm Island, a night’s sail from Copenhagen, a little rugged jewel in the Baltic. Take the coastal path from Rønne for three or four days’ ramble right round, putting up inexpensively at the comfortable little hotels. Spring is best, if not too chilly, before the rush comes from the Continent. Taste the little Bornholm smoked herrings.
    Sweden by ferry from Elsinore, half an hour, or from Copenhagen to Malmø near Lund University, one and a half hours.
VIII—BATHS
    Most Danish town hotels have baths, but in booking other accommodation it is as well to enquire.
    Public baths in Copenhagen of various kinds are at 61 Studiestraede; Sea-baths at Østerbro Svømmehallen and along the Sound good bathing at Hellerup, Charlottenlund, Klampenborg (Bellevue), etc., the Danish Riviera and West Jutland (see Section II).
    Health resorts (see Section II also).
Sanatoria, Hydropathic Establishments
