Byrums Raukar

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.

Byrums raukar are a geological formation of a group of rauks (Swedish term for stacks) on the western shore in the north of Öland, Sweden near the village of Byrum. The group consists of about 120 limestone stacks, rich in fossils, of up to 4 m (13 ft) high on a 600 m (2,000 ft) stretch of beach. The area is about 3 hectares, is a Natural Monument III and a nature reserve since 1935.
