Visby's old town is like stepping straight into another era. You don't even need to imagine the Middle Ages – history is around every corner.

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 with torches and courage sneaked through a small hole in the rock. What they found was a hidden underground world of silence, stalactites and bubbling water. Today you can follow in their footsteps and experience the same magic, but with a helmet and guide instead of secrecy. A perfect day trip – north of Visby, about 30 km from SOMMARLADAN.
