    Sauna house is important in Hiiumaa. It is the cultic place, children were born there, it was the therapy and medical spot. Bride and groom was taken to sauna by the tradition and juniper was burnt as the first wood. Sauna is still the full day program here, a holy place. Songs were done for sauna and special words had to been said when water was dipped to the hot stones. Views[617] Palu family church built on the meteor crater combined with soviet arhitecture. Unappropiatismus-anacronismus. Views[382] Cross hills, is a small forest spot spontaneously started by deported swedish who had their last meeting on that spot, on the way to south Russia. They placed the cross there before they left and since then every visitor makes a natural recycled cross for luck and places it where there is free spot. Views[479] Ristna lighthouse, ordered from Eiffel factory. 30m from land level. 1874. It was accidentally put in wrong location. It accidentally swiched places with another Tahkuna lighthouse, this should be there and taller Tahkuna should be here. It is named as coca-cola tower. Views[718] View from oldest in Europe and in the world still-working lighthouse, Kõpu. 1539. 120m from sealevel. Hiiumaa is mostly covered with forest. And here in the coastline grows very special the juniper three. Smelling tree. Main attraction of the island. Lighthouses in this island are open for visitors. Views[487]
