Tjärkokeriet
Tjärkokeriet is a compact historic stone building set into Visby’s medieval ring wall where tar was boiled in the 19th century to impregnate rope and timber for maritime use. Largely older than its later industrial function, the hamlet-scale structure sits with part of its volume projecting outside the wall, its flint-tiled roof and worn limestone blocks a quiet hint of the city’s long connection to seafaring and craft traditions.
Time to spend 0.2–1 hr
Lina myr
Lina Myr, once Gotland's largest and last great moor, sprawls across a vast, now-drained landscape near Romakloster. This former wetland, rich in biodiversity with over 100 bird species and unique flora, was transformed starting in 1947 through drainage efforts. Today, it offers a glimpse into ecological change, medieval history ties to nearby Roma Kloster, and serene rural scenery amid limestone terrain. Explore remnants of lakes Lina Träsk and Råby Träsk, connected by the Hörsneån stream, in this quiet corner of northern Gotland.
Time to spend 0.5–1.5 hrs
