Four hundred windmills, the royal summer palace and the bare limestone plain of Alvaret.
Öland lies across a six-kilometre bridge from Kalmar and is Sweden’s sunniest corner. Its south is the Stora Alvaret, a treeless limestone plain full of orchids and birds that UNESCO lists together with the old farming villages; windmills stand along the roads, Borgholm has a huge castle ruin and the royal family’s summer palace, and the beaches in the north are long and sandy.
