Things to see and do Lärbro

On the north-west tip of the island, forests of pine and green meadows, in a fairly marshy environment.

Over kilometres from Hoburgen to Tofta Strand, heading north, nine large sandy beaches and coves easily accessible by roads or tracks. Tofta Beach is one of the three jet beaches set in Sweden, with large beach parties in summer. It covers about 5 km of sand…

10 km south of Slite, on the east coast, beautiful sandy beaches and a campsite.

The village has a white church from the ^12th century with a grey, pointed bell tower. The architecture is typical of medieval Gotland churches. The large square tower next to the bell tower is called a kastal, a fortified tower that protected the sacred building. Minor remains of an earlier Romanesque church are included in the present church. Research estimates that the tower dates from 1340. Its upper part was destroyed by a storm in 1522, after which the top floor was demolished and its present superstructure and spire were erected.

This lost peninsula in the north-east of Gotland is mostly known for its very original Fabriken hotel, but the nature reserve in the south of the peninsula is superb to isolate yourself and enjoy the amazing vegetation. Limestone quarries were dug on the island in 1908 by a German company. Thus, for most of the 20th century, there was a limestone industry on the island until it was closed to the public by the Swedish army between 1970 and 1990 to be transformed into a military base.

The most beautiful place on the island to watch the sun set behind the island of Stora Karlsö. Nearby is a charming little fishing village called Djupvik. The Eksta Coast Nature Reserve stretches from Djupvik to Hammarudden. It is a beautiful stretch of Gotland's coastline, with a view of the two small Karlsöarna islands. In the central part of the reserve is Kronvall, a fishing village that was once much larger than it is today and which, according to legend, is where the Danish army landed in 1361.
