The rugged coast of northern Gotland stands out for its natural sceneries; the rauks (free-standing rocks on the coast) and the Lummelunda cave system.

All attractions in the area are reachable by road. Driving is the most practical way to get around. The flat topography makes cycling a good option at summer.
