Modern Rock Art in Gotland

Some think it's a shame and some really like it! An unknown artist has used the flat face of a fallen limestone rock to make a statement to sailors and others passing by the beach. The image resembles a huge mythological creature.

It can be found by continuing along the rough trail Stenkusten (The Stone Coast) approx 2 km north of the village and limestone museum Bläse. After passing on top of some cliffs and reaching a broad white stone beach, (park and) walk straight back below the cliffs.

On hot summer days it is very rewarding to try and find the nearby abandoned, half-secret and water filled limestone quarries of Nyrajsu and another nicknamed "Blå Lagunen" ("Blue Lagoon").

It is worth making research if you are serious about visiting Gotland, so that you may enjoy a variety of stunning natural beauty and also extremely fascinating cultural heritage.
