Byrum's raukar, Nature reserve on western shore of Öland, Sweden.
The reserve features 120 limestone stacks reaching heights of 4 meters, stretching along a 600-meter section of beach near Byrum village.
The limestone formations originated from a coral reef that formed 490 million years ago when the region was submerged in a tropical ocean.
The reserve contains numerous fossils of Orthocerida, ancient cephalopods that contributed to the formation of the primeval reef during geological history.
Two parking areas serve visitors to Byrum-Sandvik, with alternative spaces available a short distance down the road when one lot fills.
These limestone stacks occur exclusively on Swedish Baltic islands, with Byrum containing the only examples found on Öland.
