The Swedish
Baltic Sea island in the province of Kalmar län is a
popular holiday destination and has a lot to offer.
Of historical
finds from the Stone Age to sites from the Middle Ages, Öland
offers the viewer an amazing diversity. Characteristic of
Öland is the unusually large number of wind mills. Of
course, also castles, museums, lighthouses and leisure facilities
invite for a visit.
The southern
part of Öland was declared as an agricultural landscape
World Heritage Site. Since 1973 the island is connected to
the mainland by the six-kilometer-long Öland bridge. |
