Högklint is a coastal cliff and viewpoint on the island of Gotland, Sweden, known for its steep sea-facing rock and wide panoramas over the Baltic. The site is a notable natural vantage point near the island’s main town.

The location offers panoramic views toward Visby and out over the sea and coastline, and it is reached by road with parking and short walking paths to the cliff edge. The vantage makes it a common short excursion for visitors to Gotland.

The cliff and surrounding terrain were shaped by glacial and post-glacial marine processes during the region’s geological history, producing the steep coastal profile seen today.

Högklint sits on Gotland’s western shoreline roughly 6 km south of the medieval town of Visby, set above the sea on the island’s central western coast.

  • Viewpoint: Cliffside viewpoint located about 6 km south of Visby offering broad views across the Baltic Sea and the town below.
