Högklint
A limestone sea cliff about 48 m high just south of Visby, with views over the Baltic and the old town. A classic sunset spot.
Högklint is a stretch of limestone cliff about 8 km south of Visby along the coast, rising roughly 48 m above the sea. The clifftop viewing platform looks out over the deep blue Baltic, and on clear days you can even make out Visby to the north. Footpaths wind through the pine forest on top, and smaller trails lead down to the shore and to a cave known as the “Happy Hole.” Entry is free. You can reach it by bike or car, and it’s easy to combine with a trip to Kneippbyn. It’s a popular sunset viewpoint, but there are no railings along the edge, so keep a safe distance from the drop.
