Hiiumaa experience

Climb Hiiumaa's three-lighthouse coast

Follow Kõpu, Ristna and Tahkuna around Hiiumaa's outer capes, climbing where access allows to see how three different towers read the Baltic's shoals, storms and shipping routes.

The experience

Read the Baltic from three different towers

Kõpu rises from a forested ridge far inland, while Ristna and Tahkuna stand nearer exposed capes. Together they explain the island's position among shallow banks, changing channels and the storms that made navigation around Hiiumaa dangerous.

Driving all three creates more than a checklist. Each tower opens a different coast, and the roads between them pass through the forest and sparse settlements that define the island.

Experience FAQ

Hiiumaa's lighthouse route

Q01What makes Kõpu special?

Its lighthouse site has guided Baltic shipping since the sixteenth century and is among the world's oldest continuously operating lighthouse sites.

Q02Can all three towers be climbed?

Only when their seasonal opening, weather and the traveler's mobility allow it; the exact access is checked for the journey dates.

Plan with Alex

Make Hiiumaa's maritime geography visible

I design Estonia as a small-country journey: fewer stops, more time in each, and enough slack for weather, ferry timetables, and dinners that run long.

Tell me what draws you — floodwater, islands, winter darkness, food — and when you can travel. I will shape the route around it.

Estonia changes with the calendar: spring water fills Soomaa's forests, midsummer fires burn through the white night and late summer brings Peipsi onions to roadside stalls. I plan around the moment you most want to experience.
