Travel Information

Public Transportation

From/Via Copenhagen

There are several ways to get to Bornholm from Copenhagen. A domestic plane departs from Copenhagen Airport, and you can get from Copenhagen Central station by either bus or train via Ystad or the Køge-Rønne ferry connection.

Plane (very fast, most expensive)
You can check plane departures and book tickets at dat.dk. There are multiple departures daily. The flight takes approximately 25 minutes.
Via Ystad (quick, cheap and easy, crosses Sweden border)
You can drive over Øresundsbroen to Ystad or you can take the train/bus from Copenhagen Central Station. You can buy train and ferry ticket at dsb.dk (Type in "København H" and "Rønne Havn"). More information about the crossing. The crossing takes 1 hour 20 minutes. In total about 3 hours 15 minutes. Due to recent developments an ID (passport, drivers license or similar) is required when crossing the Denmark/Sweden border.
Via Køge (cheap, slow)
Take the S-train to Køge Station (you need an "all zones" ticket) or travel by car. The ferry terminal is within walking distance from the station. You can check out prices here. It takes approximately 1 hour to get to Køge. The crossing takes 5 hours 30 minutes.

From Abroad

If you are going to BornHack from abroad you have different options as well.

Berlin (Germany)
There are no public transport routes from Berlin to Sassnitz ferry terminal on Saturdays, including Aug 27 and Sept 03 the Bornhack start/end dates. Your best bet is to get a train to Sassnitz station, then take a taxi. Search for routes Berlin ‐ Sassnitz on bahn.de. At the time of writing, the best route is:
08:45 Berlin Hbf → train with 2 changes, 50€ for a 2-way return ticket.
12:52 Sassnitz → taxi, ~14€, 10 min.
13:30 Sassnitz harbour
If you want to try your luck at a direct route to the ferry terminal, search for routes Berlin ‐ Sassnitz-Mukran Fährhafen on bahn.de or for routes Berlin ‐ Fährhafen Sassnitz on checkmybus.com.
Sassnitz (Germany)
There is a direct ferry taking cars going from Sassnitz ferry terminal which is 4km away from Sassnitz itself. The company is called BornholmerFærgen and the tickets cost 32€ (outgoing) and 25€ (return). It can also be booked from aferry.co.uk. The ferry departs for Bornholm on Aug 27 at 11:50, 13:30, and returns to Sassnitz on Sept 03 at 08:00, 09:00. Detailed timetable: English, Danish.
Kolobrzeg (Poland)
There is a passenger ferry from Kolobrzeg to Nexø havn.

Getting from Rønne to the Venue

The venue is 24km from Rønne. We will have a shuttle bus that will pick people up and take them to the venue. It is also possible to take a public bus to near the venue. Local taxis can also get you here.

Driving and Parking

A car is very convenient when bringing lots of equipment, and we know that hackers like to bring all the things. We welcome cars and vans at BornHack. We have ample parking space very close (less than 50 meters) to the main entrance.

Please note that sleeping in the parking lot is not permitted. If you want to sleep in your car/RV/autocamper/caravan please contact us, and we will work something out.

Where do I sleep?

Camping

BornHack is first and foremost a tent camp. You need to bring a tent to sleep in. Most people go with some friends and make a camp somewhere at the venue. See also the section on Villages - you might be able to find some likeminded people to camp with.

Cabins

We rent out a few cabins at the venue with 8 beds each for people who don't want to sleep in tents for some reason. A tent is the cheapest sleeping option (you just need a ticket), but the cabins are there if you want them.

Camping Areas

Quiet Area

The oblong area in the eastside of the venue from Q4 to S10 is the Quiet Area. Noise will not be tolerated here. If getting an uninterrupted nights sleep is important to you, you should consider pitching your tent here.

Family Area

We want BornHack to be an event for hackers of all ages! The Family Area is the lightblue area at 13-14 A-F on the map. The area has ample camping space and is equipped with a sand box, a fireplace, and lots of grass to play around in. If you intend to camp here please bring (and share) any outdoor games you might have.

Nature Area

The area reaching from 27 and down to the entrance around 36 is the Nature Area. We have not cut the grass in this area, there are no roads, infrastructure or wifi. Just wild Danish shrubland habitat, or "hede" in Danish. Pitch your tent here if you want to feel closer to the beautiful nature that surrounds BornHack.

The Noisy Area

Surrounding the bar area is the noisy area. This is where you should place your tent / camp / village if you expect to make a lot of noise. The noisy area forms square from top left I17 to bottom right Q23 on the map.

The Bar

The Bar

The bar area is the place to go when you are all hacked out and want to socialize with the other participants. Enjoy a cold beer or drink and some music, and discuss your projects with the people around you.

The bar will be run with an open budget and flexible prices. More on that later.

Opening hours of the bar have not been decided yet. Expect it to open late and close late. Opening hours will be compatible with the average hackers drink/sleep cycle.

Villages

What is a Village?

If this is your first hackercamp the term 'Village' might be confusing but it is fairly simple: a village is just a spot on the campsite where you and a bunch of your friends/likeminded people camp together. Apart from peoples individual tents which they sleep in, many villages bring a large common tent where you can hack and hang out during the day.

Renting Village Tents

Villages can also rent village tents via us, head over to the villages section of the shop. The tents will be ready when you arrive and will be taken down again saturday the 3rd of September from 12:00. The tents have optional floors and you can rent folding tables and chairs as needed. You do not have to register a village or have a concept to rent a big tent.

Registering a Village

You can register your village here! If you don't want to make your own village you might be able to find and join one that suits your interests. Get in touch with the villages team if you have any questions!

Food, Drink and Groceries

Food Vendors

We are lucky enough to have a local food vendor (from the town Nexø) at the venue. He sells high quality sausages and burgers, Danish style. We are also looking into an agreement with a nearby pizza delivery place. More on that later.

Cooking

We know that hackers like to cook for themselves, not just because of vegetarians/vegan diets. Everyone is encouraged to cook their own food, either in their own village kitchen or in the food area. Please note that coal powered barbeques are strictly forbidden on the camp grounds for fire safety reasons. If you want to cook with coal use the big barbeque in the food area! Gas and electrical barbeques are allowed in villages.

The Outdoor Kitchen

Part of the food area is a large outdoor kitchen area where participants are invited to cook their meals. The Outdoor Kitchen features:

  • Lots of seating. Both covered by roof and in the open.
  • Running water and tables for food preparation. You must bring your own dishes and other cooking/eating equipment.
  • Ample barbeque capacity, including a barbeque exclusive to vegans/vegetarians. We sell charcoal in the kiosk.
Villages without a kitchen of their own are invited to utilize this area for cooking. Please clean up after yourselves! :)

Buying Groceries

Before you can cook anything you need some groceries to cook. The closest place to buy groceries is a small place approximately 3.5 km away at Pedersker. About 7 km from the venue there is a larger selection at Aakirkeby. About 20km from the venue at Nexø there is an even larger selection still. We have a shuttle bus that will transport participants to and from grocery shopping, free of charge.

The Shop/Kiosk

BornHack will have a shop/kiosk where you can buy a small selection of stuff you might need. We sell candy and a bit of food, softdrinks, charcoal for the barbeques, network cables, power adapters, a small selection of electronics, and so on.

The kiosk will also sell coffee made from freshly ground high quality beans, and a selection of tea. In the mornings we will also sell bread, see the seperate section on breakfeast.

The kiosk will be open from 8:00 in the morning (so hackers can get their morning coffee) until 20:00 in the evening. After 20:00 you can still get coffee, tea and softdrinks at the bar. But make sure you buy anything else you might need before 20:00 (charcoal for cooking late, or snacks for the the evening/night, or those LEDs you will need for a project later, and so on).

Breakfeast/Bakery

We have an agreement with a local quality bakery which will deliver a selection of fresh bread every morning. We will sell some in the shop, but we recommend you order bread you want the day before and it will be ready for you in the morning. You can place your orders in the shop.

The Farmer Next Door

BornHack has an agreement with a local farmer who can deliver fresh organic potatoes, eggs and chickens. Orders can be placed in the shop. More on prices and selections later.

Power and Connectivity

Power

We are working on sorting out the details. Plugs will be standard European 230V supply with type K plugs. Standard red 400V 16A CEE plugs will also be possible.

Internet Connection and Uplink

BornHack will have a 1Gbit fiber uplink to the outside world generously sponsored by BornFiber. We have plenty of IP space to go around, courtesy of RIPE NCC temporary assignment.

Networks: Wired and Wireless

BornHack will have both wired and wireless networks. The default networks will run with public internet addresses (v4 and v6) so you must protect yourself with a firewall at all times.

The wired network will provide DHCP but also allow manually configured IP addresses, using peg DHCP according to Management of IP numbers by peg-dhcp RFC 2322. If you want to set up servers we recommend to do so with static IP's. You can also use static configuration on clients to avoid attacks involving rogue DHCP servers and similar.

Wireless Network

There will be multiple wireless networks, using standard IEE 802.11 5GHz and 2.4GHz.

We will also provide a wireless network which is put behind NAT, which is similar to usual guest networks. NOTE: NAT IS NOT SECURITY, use caution always - turn the firewall on.

One SSID will also be configure to use WPA Enterprise with 802.1x aka EAP-TLS - where any credentials can be used. There is no user management, we just use EAP-TLS to get the encryption it provides for individual users.

The Shuttlebus

Opening Day

The BornHack shuttle bus will be available for transporting participants from Rønne to the venue on the opening day. The shuttle bus holds 8 passengers and luggage. To let us know you need transportation call the BornHack phone at +4593863720. Please call as soon as you know when you need a pickup so the drivers can coordinate effectively.

Grocery Shopping

During the event the shuttlebus will be taking participants to and from grocery shopping. To book a ride on the bus go to the infodesk. The drivers are flexible so if you prefer a specific grocery shop just let the driver know.

The shuttlebus can't wait outside for hours while participants are shopping. You either pick up your groceries in max. 20 minutes, or you arrange a return pickup time with the shuttlebus.

Closing Day

On closing day the shuttle bus is available to transport participants back to Rønne so they can get home. You need to book a ride in the infodesk. Please be realistic when planning your trip home. Don't expect to depart BornHack 30 minutes before your ferry leaves. Leave some room for delays.

Infodesk and CERT

Infodesk

The infodesk is where you go to find an organizer when you have questions of any kind. The infodesk is also where you go to:

  • Book a ride on the shuttle bus
  • Book one (or more) of the ten available BornHack bicycles
  • Get any merchandise you bought

The infodesk is located around M15 on the map (right outside the food area in the direction towards the bar).

CERT

CERT is short for Community Emergency Response Team. In case of a dangerous situation (accidents, fire and so on) these are the people to contact.

While the infodesk is open (from 10:00 to 20:00 every day) the CERT people can be reached here. Outside infodesk opening hours CERT can be reached at the official BornHack phonenumber which is +4593863720. This number is open 24 hours.
