Lummelunda Cave
Lummelundagrottan
One of Sweden’s longest caves, with an underground river, stalactites and fossils. Guided tours and cave exploration are available in summer.
Lummelunda Cave lies about 13 km north of Visby. It is a cave system carved out of limestone by an underground river, with more than 4 km explored so far, making it one of the longest caves in Sweden. Discovered in 1948 by three boys, the guided route stretches just over 300 m and passes stalactites, stalagmites, ancient coral and crinoid fossils embedded in the cave walls, and the flowing underground river. It only opens in the warm season, with tours departing at set times. Summer slots fill up quickly, so book online in advance. The cave stays at around 8°C, so bring a jacket.
Opening hours
About May–Sep 10:00–16:00 (extended in peak season)
