Lummelunda Cave
Lummelunda, Sweden
A limestone cave with stalactites and an underground stream, north of Visby. Guided tours run in summer; bring a warm layer.
Lummelunda Cave is a limestone cave on Gotland in Sweden, about 13 km north of Visby. Around 4.5 km of the system have been explored, making it one of the longest caves in Sweden. It lies in the Lummelundagrottan nature reserve (17 hectares, established in 1989). The system has a water-bearing section and a dry part with stalactites and other formations; the stream Lummelundsån flows through an underground channel about 1,150 m long. Linnaeus already mentioned the cave on his visit in 1741.
Visitors see the front part on a guided tour: the regular tour takes about 30 minutes, the dark tour about 40. Beforehand there is a small exhibition and a film in the entrance house. Inside it stays a cool 8 °C, so a warm jacket makes sense. The cave is closed in January because it is partly flooded in winter and early spring; booking ahead is recommended. Strollers are not allowed. The bus stop is about 400 m from the entrance. Check times in advance.
