Lummelunda Cave

Lummelunda Cave – one of Sweden's longest natural caves

It began as a boyhood adventure in the 1950s when three curious teenage boys, armed with torches and bravery, slipped through a small hole in the rock. What they found was a hidden underground world of silence, stalactites, and trickling water. Today, you can follow their footsteps and experience the same magic, but with a helmet and guide instead of secrecy. It's a perfect day trip – about 30 km north of Visby from SOMMARLADAN.

Gotland's sea stacks

Gotland's spectacular sea stacks – sculpted by nature

Gotland is famous for its remarkable sea stacks, locally called rauks. These dramatic limestone formations have been shaped by the sea, wind and weather over millions of years.

From the impressive formations at Langhammars and Digerhuvud on Fårö to the legendary Hoburgsgubben in the far south, each area has its own unique character. For truly spectacular scenery, visit Langhammars. For an accessible and family-friendly experience, Folhammar near Ljugarn is a great choice. If you want to combine history and nature, Gamle Hamn on Fårö is well worth a visit. And don't miss peaceful Lergrav, with its beautiful sea views.

Whichever you choose, Gotland's sea stacks offer an unforgettable encounter with an extraordinary landscape – carved in stone.
