Panga Cliff

The maximum height of the cliff is 21.3 m. The cliff runs for about 2.5 km. Panga Cliff stands as a slate wall reaching up straight from the beach. Interestingly, couple of hundred meters from the cliff in the sea there is a steep slope. The location of the slope becomes visible on stormy days as line of foamy waves. Good to know: Panga Cliff is the highest of all Saaremaa and Muhu northern coast cliffs. The cliffs of Saaremaa are all slate cliffs. On the highest point of the Panga cliff there is an ancient ritual site where people sacrificed for the sea.

I highly recommend a care hire once leaving the city and heading to the island. The ferry was short, like 25 mins or something. It's a beautiful drive up there, passed some horses and enjoyed the leisurely journey there. Tons of space at the car park, slight breezes overlooking the Baltic Sea. I highly recommend just to take in the moments and see more of the island.

Leisi Adventure Trail

Leisi adventure trail awaits in the centre of Leisi, in a beautiful small pine forest. Many obstacles from different ropes, nets and cables have been built between the trees (up to 150 cm from the ground). It takes balance, skills and strength to tackle these. This is a great place to test yourself physically and to get a rush of adrenaline.Useful information: completing the trail is on your own responsibility and no special safety equipment is used.

Harilaiu Hiking Trail

Reviewed By caterinaf737

A one hour walk, partly among the pines and partly on the dunes, from harilaiu matkarada (parking) brings you on a wonderful beach, where standing on the sea there is a pending lighthouse. Walking on the beach you can reach a strip of sand that stretches in the sea, kingdom of birds. In the woods there is a picnic area.

Clearing of Suur Toll

The former king of Saaremaa, Suur Toll, is still honoured by the locals. We managed to establish the Clearing of Suur Toll on the shore of a river, where you can test your strength and skills on the short hiking trail, which is full of obstacles associated with different heros. There are swinging spots, places to test your balance and strength, all equipped with legends on this health trail by the shore. The trail is a few hundred metres long.

5. Dendrarium of Mihkel Rand

Village blacksmith Mihkel Rand began creating a garden on this 0.4 ha limestone hill in 1925.Preparing the ground for rare trees and bushes he dug holes into the limestone terrain and carted thousands of loads of soil in there. In search of seeds for trees and bushes he visited most of the parks and gardens with most variety, he also made trips to Tallinn, Tartu and Viljandi.Good to know:The dendrarium of Mihkel Rand has over 100 species of trees and bushes.Dendrarium holds an abundance of foreign tree species.
