Postcard

Human beings have lived here for some five thousand years and adapted their way of life to the physical constraints of the island. As a consequence, the landscape is unique, with abundant evidence of continuous human settlement from prehistoric times to the present day.

Agricultural Landscape of Southern Öland is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
