The Lighthouses on Hiiumaa Island

Before our 62km ride today we started with a ferry crossing to the second biggest island in Estonia. It's an island of lighthouses and we visited three of them.


This one was built in the 17th century and we climbed the 100m to the top.


A memorial to over 700 people who lost their lives when the ferry 'Estonia' sank while sailing from Estonia to Sweden in 1994. There are many stories and theories surrounding this disaster. The official one is not believed by all.

A stop in the forest (as our guide would say) 'to drink the water'.

When we 'stopped to drink the water' we could pick the baby-size wild blueberries.
