The owners of Krakas Krog make a point of sourcing their ingredients from Gotland's
fields, woods and sea, including frogs' legs direct from the garden. Meals are served on
the porch and in the petite dining room. The menu is replete with local delicacies: eggs
with morels and beets, turkey in truffle broth or Baltic Sea turbot with sage butter.

Meals at Smakrike Krog capture the essence of a true Swedish summer. The restaurant's
menu follows the seasons and the affable owners also operate a stylish bed and breakfast
upstairs (singles/doubles Skr1650/1995).
Southern Gotland
As you head south, stop off at Lojsta to see the deepest lakes in Gotland, the remains of an
early medieval fortress and a fine church. Hemse is a commercial centre, with good ser-
vices (such as supermarkets, banks and a bakery). About 10km south, the Hablingbo
church boasts three lavishly carved doorways, a votive ship, carved floor slabs and rune
stones. The red-brick STF Vandrarhem Hablingbo ( 0498-48 71 61; www.gutevin.se ;
Hablingbo; dm Skr280; May-Sep; ) is next to Gute Vingård, Gotland's only commercial
vineyard, which also has a good restaurant.
Maria's Hästeri ( www.mariashasteri.se ; Grötlingbo Skradarve 209; per person from Skr400;
Jun-Sep) , 9km south in Grötlingbo (another 10km south from Hablingbo), is a friendly
stable that organises horse-riding tours lasting from a couple of hours to a full day com-
plete with lunch. In Björklunda, 10km further south, B&B Björklunda ( 0498-49 71 90;
www.bjorklundabb.se ; hostel s/4 Skr300/500, B&B s/d Skr500/1000, 2-/4 bed apts Skr1500/1900;
) vaguely recalls a Greek villa with its whitewashed buildings and blue trim. Furnish-
ings and decorations are somewhat dated, but rooms are clean and comfy. You can choose
among double rooms, hostel-style rooms with shared facilities and apartments. There is
also a restaurant and 'rock pub' with live bands at weekends in summer.
