I wish you´ll be having a great trip then!
If you follow this link you´ll be taken to the right "Forsbacka" located
next to a bigger city with the name of Gavle ( Gävle) You can zoom "in
and out" (In and Ut) which makes it a bit easier to locate the area in
question.

Just a tip. If you happen to be able of chosing the date for your trip
(during summer I hope) then whatever you do... don´t miss the Medieval
Week on Gotland. This attracts visitors from all over the world and you
simply got to stop by to se it. It´s on the bigger main island named
Gotland and the bigger city named Visby. The ferry takes you straight in
to the harbour so it´ll hit you straight in the face.
The main page in English.

Just keep in mind regarding Faro island that there is probably no place
to stay for the night... It is sort of ...more of a private isle...
well, it´s not private in that sense but it might be hard to find
facilities made for tourism if you´ll get my point. It will probably
improve now when Ingemar is dead and buried, but it never hurts to make
some inquiries BEFORE you go :)
