GOTLAND ON THE MAP

Gotland is the largest island in the Baltic Sea, from North to South  170 km  and from East to West 50 km.
If you would like to walk around the island it will take some time to explore almost 800 km of coast which has a variation of white sand beaches, gently rounded rubble-stones or steep limestone cliffs.

Gotland can also offer you a variation of local food as saffron pancake, marinated lamb meat with herbs and not to forget the typical beverage for Gotland "Gotlandsdricke", something between mead and beer. However this beverage is home maid and you need to make a local acquaintance to be able to taste it!

For more than 400 millions years ago, the continent where Gotland was situated, was located near the Equator. Many fossils which can be found on the island are traces from that period. Fossils of sea lilies, mollusks and corals among others. 

The famous cliff formations called "raukar" which you will find on Gotland and Fårö eroded mountains of limestone, of which is remaining the harder core.
