Gamla Hamn is the most famous so-called "Rauk", or standing rock, on the Gotland and Fårö islands. Gamla Hamn means "Old Harbour".

The place is especially very attractive during sunset, as the sky turns into many different colours. There are occasionally also some sea birds, so you might want to take your zoom lenses with you.

Photography Tips

It's a rocky place, so make sure you protect your camera (especially when walking).
When trying to go for shots of birds that are resting on the rocks, I'd recommend bringing a tripod. It makes you less agile, but the result is better.

Travel Information

Fårö is a small island, just lying north of Gotland. A ferry (free of charge) takes you to the island. Important: if you want to take shots at sunset, be sure to either stay the night or keep track of the ferry timetable so you won't be lost on the island.

As the island is small, it doesn't have many roads. So travelling might take a bit more time than you'd be used to if you live in urban areas. Planning is therefore essential.
