I admit: there is not much to see, but it is interesting nonetheless. The wooden chapel of St. Olof once stood here, the foundations of which can still be seen.

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/

Jauvika as the destination of a short walk from the “Dog” (Rocket).

One of the main destinations on Fårö.

Starting point to the old harbor (Gamle hamn) and the “dog” (Rauke)

One of the classic destinations on Fårö: the “Dog” rock formation/rock.

The old port is almost inconspicuously located in the forest near the coast. It looks like a pond, but the sign explains

A historic fishing station (Fiskeläge) with old huts and boats gives an impression of the work of former fishermen.
