Jungfrun, Coastal rauk and nature reserve in Gotland Municipality, Sweden.
The Jungfrun nature reserve features steep coastal cliffs stretching 700 meters along the northwest coast, with the rauk formation rising 26 meters above sea level.
The nature reserve gained official protection status on December 22, 1930, and underwent an expansion in 2010 to encompass 12 hectares of protected land.
The name Jungfrun originates from a local narrative dating back approximately 1,000 years, connecting the geological formation to regional storytelling traditions.
The reserve contains hiking paths along the cliffs, requiring visitors to follow specific guidelines that prohibit open fires and preserve the natural environment.
The area houses rare flag moss species that grow exclusively near calcareous streams, alongside ancient pine forests with dead wood supporting specialized lichens.
