Northern Öland

 
In the north of the island of Öland, 2km/1.25mi from the little fishing village of Byxelkrok, is an area to which Linnaeus gave the name of Neptuni Åkrar ("Neptune's Fields"): a curious beach formation of loose stones which in summer is covered with blue flowers. From the beach there is a view of the crag known as the "Blue Maiden" (Blå Jungfrun). Above the beach is a cemetery area with 35 graves and a ship tomb of the Viking period.
