Sõru

Sõru is a peaceful coastal village on the western tip of Hiiumaa, Estonia's second-largest island, where rugged limestone cliffs meet the Baltic Sea and traditional island life continues at a gentle pace. The village serves as the ferry port connecting Hiiumaa to the mainland, but maintains an unhurried character with wooden houses, small farms, and spectacular coastal scenery. The surrounding landscape features juniper-dotted meadows, dense forests, and dramatic shoreline where waves have carved the limestone into interesting formations. Sõru offers access to Hiiumaa's unique attractions including historic lighthouses, the Kärdla meteor crater, and pristine nature reserves. The island's sparse population and lack of industrial development create an atmosphere of authentic rural Estonia, where traditional crafts, local foods, and nature-based tourism thrive. Sõru serves as an ideal base for exploring Hiiumaa's wild beauty and experiencing island culture.
