| The Natural Museum The museum shows how the island was formed and other ecological aspects of Gotland. Here you can see exhibitions showing the different landscapes, for example marshlands and forests. Many of the several thousand of fossils found on the island are exhibited here. The Powder Tower (Kruttornet) The tower was built in the 12th century to protect the harbour and it is the oldest monument in Visby. The Sea Wall The wall was built soon after the powder tower as a reinforcement against unwanted visitors. Over the years, gates and towers were added and making the city almost impregnable. The wall still stands today and is in excellent condition. Outside of Visby Bunge open-air museum This is one of the countries largest open-air museums with more than 50 buildings "imported" from other parts of Gotland. You will also find several runestones with pictures which is relatively rare in Sweden. Gotland's East Coast Here you can see the famous "raukarna", the limestone pillars that line the coast. The East Coast is also where you find most of Gotland's sandy beaches. Hoburgsgubben This is probably the most famous of the limestone pillars on Gotland. "The Old Man of Hoburg" is one of the stone trolls about whom there are many tales. Kattlund's Farm This farm dates from the Middle Ages when a man by the name of Botulf Katlund owned the farm in the early 15th century. If he were to come back today, he would recognise his old abode immediately; it has changed very little since he died. Källungens kyrka This church is built some time in the 1300th century and has different art objects all the way from the 1200th century. This makes it to the most interesting church on Gotland from an art historical perspective. Lojsta hed This wooded area is where Gotland's indigenous horse lives. Once a year the wild horses are rounded up and counted. A festival is also held at the same time. Lummelunda Cave Underground cave which have taken millions of years to excavate. This is one of Gotland's most popular attractions with thousands of visitors every year. Stora Karlsön Off the west coast of Gotland is Stora Karlsö, a very small island but still very special. The boat-ride from Klintehamn takes only 40 minutes. The journey is well worth once you have seen the view from the lighthouse. There are also several caves here where many Stone Age finds have been made. The island is visited every year by thousands of birds - mainly razor-billed auks and common guillemots. There is a restaurant on the island and rooms for hire if you wish to stay overnight. Stora Karlsö Phone: 0498-24 05 00 Viking village in Tofta The village offers an excellent chance to see how man lived during the Viking Age. Here you can see handicrafts being made, play games and eat "Viking" food. Öja Kyrka This Medieval church is most famous for its Madonna statue (14th cent.) and John the Baptist crucifix. The church itself dates back to the 14th century. For a complete list of sights, visit the website of Gotland's Tourist Association.
