Hoburgsgubben

The Hoburgsgubben rauk stands as a natural limestone pillar formed through centuries of coastal erosion along the southern edge of Gotland.

During the 1800s, travelers documented this geological structure, marking it as a reference point for maritime navigation along the Swedish coast.

Local residents maintain traditional tales about this formation, which resembles a human head when viewed from specific marked observation points.

The site includes informational signs, a restaurant named Majstregården, and a shop selling regional items, though wheelchair access remains limited.

Numerous caverns surround the formation, including one called 'The Old Man's Bedroom,' which contains traces of ancient fishing settlements.
