The castle was closed when we visited but we found an enchanting tree-vine passage that looked just like the hole the rabbit disappeared into just like in Alice in Wonderland. The passage ( ?? Mosquitoes & flies warning) lets in little light and can feel scary with the tangle of roots and vines. Takes 10min to stroll and a few minutes if you get scared and start sprinting ?. On the other side is a park with some view and resting areas.

We took this path from Helsingborg to Sofiero and it was full of nature and surprising views, especially like a vegetal tunnel or views over the sea and Denmark coast.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
