Eesti on tuntud oma rikkaliku linnustiku poolest. Ning oma 700-800 pruunkaru, 300 ilvese ja 200 hundiga on Eesti ka üks suurema suurkiskjate populatsiooniga Euroopas. Lisaks 12 000 põtra, lendoravat, tuhandeid kährikuid, 16 000 kobrast ja 1500 viigerhüljest – hea põhjus linnu- ja imetajatevaatlusretke ühendamiseks.
Sügisel on tuhanded rändeks valmistuvad sookured, haned ja pardid! Põtrade paaritumine, pruunkarud toituvad enne talveund, viigerhülgete kogunemised, hundid õpetaksid oma poegi jahti pidama.

Welcome to the private and luxurious Villa Dirhami.

We are located at the most Noth-Western tip of Continental Estonia, 1.2 km from the Dirhami port. We are less than a 1.5-hour car ride away from Tallinn.

The Villa stands next to the sea in a pine forest. There are excellent conditions for swimming and sunbathing on the seashore. The beach is solitary to delight holidaymakers that enjoy privacy. The closest neighbours are 1.2 km away from the Villa.

On Cape Põõsaspea, about 1 km from the Villa, there is a bird watching tower. It is the best-known bird watching site in Estonia, for the most migratory birds pass it through. 

The focus of this nature tour is on three iconic mammals – the lynx, the brown bear, and the wolf. For now, let’s focus our attention on the lynx, who has the most secretive life. About 500 lynxes are thought to live in Estonia, and they are mostly seen in Alutaguse and Lahemaa National Park.

Estonia also has a large bear population of almost 1,000. We will monitor their activities from a hut. In addition, we hope to hear the howls of wolves on dark autumn nights.

We will also have plenty of time for bird-watching. The tour includes accommodation and meals.

The best time to order a tour is the first three weeks of October but you can contact us all year round!

We also organise scheduled animal watching trips which you can join alone or with a friend, see our website for more information.

Rannarootsi Centre is a safe and cosy environment for shopping and spending leisure time. It is also a perfect meeting place.
The centre aims to be the shopping and leisure centre of choice among the locals.

Osmussaar is unique for its interesting nature and history. The island was first inhabited by the Estonian Swedes; after the WWII, Osmussaar became a restricted border zone with a Soviet military base.
The island is 4.8 kilometres long and 1.6 kilometres wide. Its highest spot is 8 metres high. Osmussaar probably rose from the sea 3,000 years ago. The landscape is characteristic for its limestone shore, breccia boulders, vast shingle mould areas, and juniper shrubland. 
At the northwestern tip of the island on the cliff coast, a reinforced concrete lighthouse, built in 1954, can be found. The lighthouse has been open for visitors since 2019.

A 2 km hiking trail is situated in the relatively moist and waterlogged area on the Vormsi landscape protection area. The most notable sites on the trail include the Suur Allikas (Big Spring) and Raviallikas (Curing Spring) and an enjoyable view to Lake Prästviigi. You will find signs and information boards throughout the trail. The trail is partly a dirt road; moist areas have boardwalks and bridges. In the wet seasons, the trail is muddy and difficult to pass. Rubber boots are the most suitable footware for passing the trail. The trail has a timber watchtower that is 2.5 m high.

This beautiful countryside, largely untouched by civilization and surrounded by sparse settlement, is alluring to nature enthusiasts, who are able to visit the nearby forest to forage blueberries, cowberries and mushrooms.

The Nõva coastal area is also enchanting to those interested in enjoying a beach setting and getting a little surfing in. The sandy beach of Peraküla offers close to a dozen kilometres of pure singing sand.

Did you know…?: There are no lifeguards at this beach, and RMK Peraküla has a camping area with campfire sites and outhouses, as well as having a 200 capacity car park at Peraküla beach.

If it is cold enough, children and adults alike can have a fun day on the Haapsalu Väike Viik skating rink. Older skating enthusiasts can participate in skating marathons and other competitions on ice.
Bring your friends and spend the day skating or playing hockey. The beautiful surrounding bay and picturesque sunset offer a fairytale-like experience.
You can also skate and ski on the Haapsalu front and back bay.

Be sure to check the weather conditions beforehand.

Ungru Manor is one of the most impressive neo-baroque buildings in Estonia, although the castle was never fully completed. It is an imposing building, which is an almost exact copy of the Merseburg Castle in Germany. Behind the construction of the manor was a sad love story:

Count Ungern-Sternberg fell in love with the daughter of the lord of Merseburg Castle, who had promised to spend her entire life in Merseburg Castle. The count promised to build an exact replica of the building and she agreed to move there. However, the construction stopped when the count’s lover suddenly fell ill and died.
These are mystical ruins in a beautiful place, making it a wonderful place for taking pictures!

The Saare study trail is located on the border of Silma Nature Reserve.
The hiking trail, which begins at the Sutlepa car park, is equipped with an observation platform and an observation tower. In the spring, you can admire thousands of waterfowl, and on the information boards, you will find information on the values of the Silma Nature Reserve.

A memorable and fun train ride allows you to see more of the picturesque and romantic seaside town than you would on foot. The train has a tour guide who points out the attractions on the way. You will see Kuursaal, lovely seaside streets with wooden lace houses, and cafés on the main street decorated with flowers.

The excursion lasts 45 minutes.
Departure/arrival in the summer season: Haapsalu Railway Station

HÕFF introduces to Estonian and foreign audiences the largest possible contemporary range of horror, fantasy, and cult movies. Although a number of horror and fantasy film festivals are organised in the neighbouring countries of Estonia, HÖFF is unique, as it focuses on a high-quality programme and shows the best movies from the world’s most prestigious genre festivals. Most of the films have not been featured in Estonia and it is unlikely that they will be shown outside of HÖFF.
