A geographical specialty is Bornholm's geographical hub (Danish: Geografisk Knudpunkt). In the south of Bornholm, near the old Slusegård farm, a granite stone marks the point where latitude 55 ° north and longitude 15 ° east meet. This makes Bornholm the point in Denmark where the sun is directly in the south at 12 noon.

The 15 ° east longitude is also decisive for the Central European time zone. Since this also runs directly through the Bornholm port city of Gudhjem, the time zone in Denmark is also called "Gudhjem time". Due to its far east location, the sun rises and sets on Bornholm half an hour earlier than on Jutland. In the period from May to August, the white nights occur north of the 55 ° north latitude. It is 6,105 km from the granite stone to the equator and 3,885 km to the North Pole.

This is where the 55th parallel and the 15th longitude intersect.
