Archaeological finds

The Bronze and Iron Age cemetery of Domarlunden lies to the east of the road Larbro - Hellvi. The western part dominates a Roese of 30 m diameter. Domarlunden, the medium-sized "Judge Wald" in the eastern part, is one of a number, partially damaged ship subsidence formed.

The subsequent Lajkarhajd is directly south of the legend, the battlefield on which the Norwegian King Olav the Holy against Gotlanders fought for them to convert to Christianity. The 19 dishes on the sacrificial stone called " Sangelstein " should be footprints left by Olaf. The stone is so called because it sings: He emits a sound when you hit him. A little further south of the Felsritzung Hägvide, Gotland is only noteworthy Felsritzung.

North of Domarlunden the reconstructed Roese is of Kauparve.
