Gotland is a karst island off the east coast of Sweden. Visby, the main city on Gotland, is an old, medieval Hansa city. Visby has also been chosen by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Detailed info on Gotland and Visby can be found here.
The congress venue will be Wisby Strand. Detailed information will be found under General Information.
In order to give the congress delegates a true taste of this medieval atmosphere, the congress starts the day after Visby Medieval Week. It is fully possible to combine the congress-stay with a pre-event holiday.
By choosing a location that has served as a social and cultural hot spot for centuries, we hope to bring together cavers from the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea and beyond!
