A very nice photo backdrop. The rocky beach is directly behind it. My recommendation: => wear water shoes here.

Rock formations up to 450 million years old are worth visiting, even if only to appreciate the fleeting nature of the moment we live in. These rocks date back to a time before the age of dinosaurs.

To the north of the island near Byrum is the most famous and clearly formed raukeng area (limestone columns) on Öland. The strange stone formations were formed over millions of years by the constant movement of the sea over the limestone and are a protected area.
