Ullahau, Nature reserve on Gotland island, Sweden

The Ullahau reserve features a prominent horseshoe-shaped sand dune that rises 15 meters above the surrounding pine forest landscape.

Extensive deforestation and grazing practices in the early 18th century initiated the formation of the sand dune system at Ullahau.

The County Administrative Board of Gotland manages this 143-hectare reserve, which has been protected since 1966 for its ecological value.

Visitors must follow strict regulations prohibiting motor vehicles, camping, fires, and insect collection to maintain the reserve's integrity.

The open sandy areas create a warm microclimate that supports rare species of wasps and all three Swedish varieties of antlions.
