Beskrivelse

Both prams and wheelchairs can be brought to Folhammar. A paved path and adapted barbecue areas allow everyone to experience the exciting rauks up close. Many couples have been married in the reserve!
The Folhammar nature reserve stretches along the shore from the mouth of the Halsgårdeån river south down to Vitvär's fishing village, a distance of 1.8 kilometers. In the central part of the reserve there is a beautiful, 500 meter long rauk field consisting of a large number of up to six meter high rauks. The reef limestone that the rauks are made of is rich in fossils, mainly of stromatoporoids, "cat skulls", but there are also remains of sea lilies. The rauk field is framed by shingle beaches that both north and south gradually change into sandy beaches.

On the beach slope 200 meters southwest of the parking lot there is one of Gotland's most beautiful occurrences of the protected plant martorn. Otherwise, the beach vegetation is dominated by herbs such as bluebell, field bindweed, cleavers, sand lettuce and vetch. In some places, there are stands of water primrose, a garden escapee that has established itself on several Gotland sandy beaches.
