968 SE - Agricultural Landscape of Southern Öland (2000)

Brief Description

"The southern part of the island of Öland in the Baltic Sea is dominated by a vast limestone plateau. Human beings have lived here for some five thousand years and adapted their way of life to the physical constraints of the island. As a consequence, the landscape is unique, with abundant evidence of continuous human settlement from prehistoric times to the present day."

南厄兰岛的农业风景区
"厄兰岛位于波罗的海，它的南部由一片巨大的石灰石高地构成。人类已经在此居住了五千年，他们的生活方式也已适应了岛上恶劣的自然环境。因此，岛上的风景显得极为独特，丰富的证据表明从史前时代到现在，一直有人类在此居住。"
