In the north part of Tofta is a military firing range, which is also the location of the annual Gotland Grand National, the world's largest enduro race. GeographyTofta is the name of the socken as well as the district. It is also the name of the small {{convert|0.3|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} village surrounding the medieval Tofta Church,[5][6] also known as Tofta kyrkby. Tofta is on the central west coast of Gotland, situated on a high rocky plateau mostly covered in pine forest, 48%, while 22% of the area is used as farmland.[1][7] In the northwest part of Tofta, between the coastline and road 140, is the Tofta firing range (Tofta Skjutfält). It is a military compound, approximately {{convert|6|by|2|km|mi|abbr=on}}, used for training with live ammunition, tanks, artillery and land mines.[8][1] Once a year, the Gotland Grand National, the world's largest enduro race, is held on the range.[9] On the Tofta coast are two old fishing villages; Blåhäll to the north and Gnisvärd a bit further south. Blåhäll has several caves and Gnisvärd has some of the grandest stone ships on Gotland. Inland is the Smågårde village. Tofta is most noted for the long sandy beach along the southern coastline. It is the second largest and most visited, on Gotland after the Sudersand beach on Fårö.[1] {{As of|2019}}, Tofta Church belongs to Eskelhem-Tofta parish in Eskelhems pastorat, along with the churches in Eskelhem and Gnisvärd.[10][11]One of the asteroids in the asteroid belt, 11308 Tofta, is named after this place.[12] HistoryThe village of Tofta dates from Medieval times. The oldest preserved text where the name is mentioned, is from 1304. The name may be related to the Swedish word toft, meaning thwart.[1] In the greater Tofta area there are a number of remnants from earlier eras. During excavations, Stone Age settlements and a cist has been found. There are stone ships and grave mounds from the Bronze Age, and from The Iron Age there are 23 grave fields, groove stones, stone walls, a picture stone and a hillfort.[13][14][15] There are also runes chiseled on a stone in the church. The stone is from 1170–90, and is a more likely to have been a tombstone than a runestone dedicated to a man called Röde Orm ("Red Snake"), a common name at that time.[16] Places of interestA reconstruction of a Viking village has been made in Tofta, where visitors can try out life during the Viking age.[17] GalleryReferences1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite encyclopedia|editor1-last=Carlquist|editor1-first=Gunnar|title=Tofta, socken|url=http://libris.kb.se/bib/1335380|publisher=Svensk uppslagsbok–Baltiska förlaget|location=Malmö}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Gotland i siffror|trans-title=Gotland in numbers|url=http://www.gotland.se/64224|website=www.gotland.se|publisher=Gotland Municipality|accessdate=27 June 2015}} 3. ^The exact extent of the socken, now district, can be obtained by clicking on Kartinställningar and check the Socken box in the menu of this map from the Swedish National Heritage Board database. 4. ^{{cite web|title=Förordning om district|trans-title=Regulation of districts|url=http://rkrattsdb.gov.se/SFSdoc/15/150493.PDF|date=17 June 2015|publisher=Ministry of Finance|accessdate=25 May 2016}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Lagerlöf|first1=Erland|last2=Svahnström|first2=Gunnar|title=Gotlands kyrkor|trans-title=Gotland's Churces|language=Swedish|id={{LIBRIS|7232718}}|date=1973|publisher=Rabén & Sjögren|location=Stockholm|isbn=91-29-41035-5|pages=253–255}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Småorternas landareal, folkmängd och invånare per km2 2005 och 2010, fortsättning|trans-title=Statistics area, population, 2005 and 2010|url=http://www.scb.se/Statistik/MI/MI0811/2010A01/MI0811_2010A01_SM_MI38SM1203.pdf|page=23|website=www.scb.se|publisher=Statistics Sweden|accessdate=27 June 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Tofta|url=http://www.ne.se/uppslagsverk/encyklopedi/lång/tofta-(3)|website=www.ne.se|publisher=Nationalencyklopedin|accessdate=31 May 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=I 19 tar över på Gotland|trans-title=I 19 takes over on Gotland|url=http://www.forsvarsmakten.se/sv/aktuellt/2014/11/i-19-tar-over-pa-gotland/|publisher=Swedish Armed Forces|accessdate=14 March 2015}} 9. ^{{cite web|last1=Gottfridsson|first1=Thomas|title=GGN firar 30 år med rekordantal|trans-title=Record breaking number of participants celebrates 30 years of GNN|url=http://www.helagotland.se/start/ggn-firar-30-ar-med-rekordantal-8961037.aspx|website=www.helagotland.se|publisher=HelaGotland|accessdate=14 March 2015}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=Församlingar på Gotland |url=https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/visbystift/f |website=www.svenskakyrkan.se |publisher=Church of Sweden |accessdate=12 January 2019}} 11. ^{{cite web |title=Visby stifts indelning 2018 |url=https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/default.aspx?id=1714164 |website=www.svenskakyrkan.se |publisher=Church of Sweden |accessdate=12 January 2019}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=11308 Tofta (1993 FF76)|url=http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=11308|publisher=NASA|accessdate=27 June 2016}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Go, Tofta socken|url=http://mis.historiska.se/mis/sok/socken.asp?snkod=0970|website=www.historiska.se|publisher=Swedish History Museum|accessdate=29 June 2015}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Sökresultat Tofta|url=http://www.fmis.raa.se/cocoon/fornsok/search.html?parish=970&tab=2&page=1|website=www.raa.se|publisher=Swedish National Heritage Board|accessdate=29 June 2015}} 15. ^{{cite book|editor1-last=Sjögren|editor1-first=Otto|title=Sverige: geografisk beskrivning.
