Digerhuvud Raukar, Fårö
Digerhuvud
A nature reserve on Fårö’s northwest coast, where grey limestone sea stacks stand like sculptures on a pebble beach.
Digerhuvud is a nature reserve on the northwest coast of Fårö. Along one to two kilometres of pebble beach stand hundreds of limestone sea stacks (raukar) of varying sizes. Formed from coral reefs roughly 400 million years ago, many look like faces, animals or abstract sculptures. Bleak and almost surreal, it’s one of Gotland’s most iconic landscapes. From Visby, it takes about an hour’s drive to Fårösund, then a free ferry crossing of around 10 minutes, followed by about 20 minutes by car. Please don’t climb the stone pillars inside the reserve.
