Favorite thing: The Gutasagen, Gotland's saga tells the story of the island's ancient legend. In the legend the enchanted island of Gotland rises from the sea every day at twilight and sinks beneath the waves again at dawn. The spell was broken by the hero, Tjelvar, when he brought fire to the island. The legend was oral prior to the 13th century, but since then can be found in written form.
