Description

The Gamla hamn nature reserve includes a rocky headland projecting to the northwest at the southern end of Lautervik and the water area outside the headland. Both on the headland itself and out in the water there are a number of rauks, the raukporten "Kaffepannan" (also called "Hunden") is the most prominent.
On the shingle beach inside the reserve there are about 15 graves that are probably from the Viking Age. Just southeast of the burial ground, inside the forest edge, are the remains of a small church with a surrounding cemetery. It is usually called St. Olof's church, and is associated with Olof the Saint's visit to Gotland in the early 11th century. North of St. Olof's church is a small body of water that during the Viking Age and early Middle Ages formed a harbor ("Gamla hamn"). However, the opening, which probably faced north, has long since been closed by land uplift and heavy storms.
