If you drive a few kilometers south from the church, you will come to the farms at Dämba. Just after the first farm on the right, an old field road goes straight down through the meadows. This is Dämba kveiar (kveiar is sometimes called minor roads on Gotland). Take a trip along this road and experience much of Fårö's unique cultural landscape. The road leads over the "Channel", which long ago connected the swamps, i.e. the lakes, Limmor and Dämba, with the sea. You also pass "Paradiset", a meadow with old oaks and beautiful natural land. Soon you will come to a section of the road where it is bordered by walls on both sides. These walls are called "stentunar" on Fårö.
Notice how unspoiled the smooth and well-built stone tuns are despite being probably over 100 years old. Where the stone tunnels end, there is a strange stone right next to the road on the left.
It is about one meter in diameter and was found on the shore of Dämbaträsk a couple of years ago. In the stone you can see clear traces of some strange kind. This type of stone is considered an ancient relic and is common on Gotland. It is called a sword sharpening stone or a sharpening stone, but it is not known exactly what purpose it had.
Grindstone
Now continue on the forest road until Dämbavägen. There you turn left to Hylåviken (you see the sea on the right),
where you meet the "Channel" again. To the left, inside a gate, you see the remains of an old water saw. The foundations of the paddle wheel still remain and remains of dams and dam structures can be found. continue
Dämba road north a few kilometers and you will approach Dämba again, but from the other direction.
