Here are some places on Island which are included in our Tour to visit, as they give you the chance to experience the life and very nature of locals. Tours can be 2-3-4 days and every time tailor made according travellers interests.
Kuressaare Episcopal Castle is one of the best-preserved medieval forts in the Baltic States. It is a truly monumental place. These stone walls have borne witness to life on the island for centuries. Referred to simply as Kuressaare Castle by most, its halls and corridors conceal stories of the island and its people from recent history and the distant past.
The
Kaali meteoriti crater is one of the best preserved meteorite craters in the world. This is a place where you can experience the immense power and unpredictability of nature. It’s been estimated that the meteorite crashed to Earth some 7500-7600 years ago. Most famous is the main crater, which is 110 m in diameter, but there are eight smaller depressions around it, making it the most spectacular crater field in Eurasia.
Angla Windmills is one of the best-preserved groups of windmills in Estonia. Four are trestle post mills, while one is an eight-sided smock mill with a rotating roof. They neatly illustrate why Saaremaa is known as the island of windmills. Here in Angla you can learn how our ancestors lived and worked.
Panga cliff is the highest bedrock outcrop on the islands and indeed anywhere in Western Estonia. Its maximum height is 21.3 metres, which is a good example of the ground rising over time. Here you can find fossils that paint a picture of the Ice Age and insect life from ancient times. On your way to the cliff, stop in at the little shop, grab a coffee and pastry or enjoy a meal with gorgeous sea views. You can work up an appetite by traversing the hiking trails here.
Not so far from Kuressaare, about ten kilometres out of town, at Reomäe, there is a convent or skete - the Holy Order of John the Baptist (
Reomae Orthodocs Monastery) whose residents – nuns from all over the world who have dedicated their lives to serving God – are known for their openness and joviality. There is own church (Reomäe Apostel Andreas church) built in 1873 and the congregation uses this church to this day.
Sorve lighthouse is the tallest on the Baltic Sea, standing at 52 metres. Visitors who climb to the top are rewarded with amazing views. Take the 242 steps to the top and you’ll see Latvia in the distance! Well, if the weather’s good, anyway. The feeling that awaits of being at the edge of everything is unique, even a luxury in today’s fast-paced world.
