While you hike along the Strandvägen, take a moment to embrace the scenic view of the Baltic Sea. If you are lucky, the bright yellow ferry arrives or leaves for the island of Fårö or Gotska Sandön.

Fårösund is a picturesque coastal town close to the island of Fårö, which captivates with its quiet beauty and proximity to nature. You can walk along the coast, explore historical sites and enjoy impressive views of the Baltic Sea. The town has a small café, a restaurant and – of course – the famous Swedish cinnamon buns!

A true natural spectacle can be seen on the islands of Gotland and Fårö. The Raukar - or Raukensteine - delight naturalists and geologists, but also inspire artists such as Ingmar Bergman, who made his home on the Swedish Baltic islands. There is something mystical about the rock formations, which originated in the tropical climate of the Silurian period 400 million years ago. The coral reefs of that time gave rise to a limestone plateau, which gave Gotland a unique landscape and flora. Last but not least, the Raukensteine are impressive evidence of the fact that Gotland's nature is still very different from that of Sweden today. The Raukar were formed by the washing out and erosion of soft rock layers over millions of years. The elements raged particularly along the coastal areas and literally rubbed the stone away. What remained are hard pieces of limestone that form bizarre shapes and figures. In various areas of Gotland, entire "raukar fields" invite you to take a walk through the history of the earth. The raukar, which can be up to ten meters high, are not only found on the border between land and sea - remarkable stone colossi can also be discovered further inland. Because people have always viewed the raukar with imagination and superstition, many of the stone formations have been "baptized". For example, "the dog", "the maiden", "the old man" and "the gate" can be found scattered across the islands. Even the botanist Carl von Linné saw "ghosts and devils" in the stone steles by the sea in the 18th century. https://schwedenstube.de/mystisch-und-bizarr-die-raukar-auf-gotland/
