Hoburgen submitted by 43559959 : Hoburgsgubben, a Rauke. Site in Gotland Sweden (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hoburgen is on the southern tip of the island of Gotland and is also one of Gotland's rauk areas. A Rauk (or Raukar in plural) is the local name of the coastal limestone stacks which are the remnants of ancient coral reefs from millions of years ago.

Hoburgsgubben (the Hoburg man) is a famous rock that resembles a human face from one angle.

If you plan to visit follow the beautiful coastal route (kustväg) to get there, which is 5 kilometres after Bottarve. All over Gotland the scenery is often quite spectacular, especially at sunset.
