Early spring excursions

In recent time small signs of a soon arriving spring have come to the island, although winter still got its hold for a while. Sunny days are well spent outdoors to absorb some energy. Even using the car, Gotland provides an excellent landscape suited for drive by stops at nice sceneries. A beautiful stretch is provided by the southeastern coastline with a few small old style “fishing villages” such as Gnisvärd, Kovik and Djupvik. Along the Eksta coast it is possible to see the elevated islands called Stora and Lilla Karlsö, a summer stronghold for guillemot and razorbill. The period between Mars and June is probably one of the best to travel around on Gotland, since tourist season have not started yet.
