ゴットランド周辺のおすすめバス停からハイキング＆ウォーキング

This forest trail leads through the varied landscapes of Södra Hällarna Nature Reserve, from wind-shaped pine forests to more sheltered woodland. It’s a calm and scenic stretch, offering a nice contrast to the open coastal sections nearby.

Södra Hallarna is a nature reserve. The coast is characterized by high limestone cliffs rising up to 30 meters above sea level. Numerous raukars, natural limestone columns formed by erosion, are found here, representing a geological highlight. The hiking trail is part of the Gotlandsleden, a marked long-distance hiking trail that circles the island. The area offers a diverse dry grassland flora on the limestone soils, including rare orchid species in spring. Along the trail, evidence of the Stone and Bronze Ages can be found in the form of burial sites and settlement remains. The hike offers unobstructed views of the open Baltic Sea and, on a clear day, as far as the island of Öland.

On a clear day, you can see as far as the island of Ödland. The area boasts a diverse dry grassland flora on its limestone soils, where rare orchids can be found. The coastline is characterized by high limestone cliffs that rise up to 30 meters above sea level.

The church ruins are located in Visby. The church and the associated monastery were founded in 1233 by the Franciscan order, founded in 1210, and completed around 1250. After its conquest by the Lübeckers in 1525, the church fell into disrepair. The monastery remained relatively modest. The number of monks probably hovered around the required number of thirteen.

The complex received the name Dalmanstornet in 1784, when the tower was converted into a granary on the orders of the local lieutenant governor Dalman.

The city wall, 3.6 km long, is almost completely preserved. Thanks to renovations in the 19th century, it is now one of the best and most completely preserved city fortifications in Europe. The wall was built from the mid-13th century onwards to protect the medieval trading town. The wall was initially 6 meters high and had no additional towers. Later, the wall was combined with 44 additional defensive towers and raised to a height of up to 11 to 12 meters. The wall is made of light limestone. In 1995, UNESCO even declared it a World Heritage Site in Sweden. If you've seen the opening credits of Pippi Longstocking, you've probably seen part of Visby's city wall. In addition, three parallel ditches were dug and a surrounding rampart was built.

The lower coastal path is pleasant to walk along and is sheltered from the sun. There are also many botanical discoveries here, including the small orchids I saw here. You can also get directly to the beach from here. There's a spot that leads downhill. With a bit of luck, you might even find a fossil here. I took a break here on the way to Högklint and dived into the water.
