The limestone sea stacks on the western coast of Fårö island, just north of Gotland, are among the most striking natural features in the Baltic. Known as raukar, these eroded limestone pillars rise from the beach and shallow water along a kilometre-long stretch of shoreline at Langhammars Nature Reserve. The light on them in the evening turns orange and the reflections in the flat water between stacks make for particularly good photographs.
Getting here requires taking the Fårösund ferry from northern Gotland (a few minutes, runs frequently) and then cycling or driving about 15 km to the western side of Fårö. The island is also associated with Ingmar Bergman, who lived here for decades and shot several films on location — the landscape that appears in Persona and Through a Glass Darkly is this one.
