Öland, Island in Baltic Sea, Sweden

The second largest Swedish island stretches 137 kilometers from north to south, featuring limestone bedrock formations and 300 kilometers of shoreline.

Archaeological findings reveal continuous human settlements on the island since 8000 BCE, with significant Iron Age burial grounds located at Gettlinge.

The Southern Öland Agricultural Landscape received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2000 for maintaining traditional farming methods across generations.

The Öland Bridge connects the island to mainland Sweden across six kilometers, providing year-round access to the island's accommodations and attractions.

Stora Alvaret contains limestone plains that support 90 nature reserves and numerous plant species found nowhere else in northern Europe.
