Founded in the beautiful Western Estonian resort town Haapsalu in 1994, the annual Early Music Festival is one of the largest festivals of the kind in Estonia and has caught the attention of many outstanding foreign artists. The festival projects bring together the best musicians from Estonia and the rest of Europe – together, they aim to revive the music of many past centuries and offer unforgettable experiences to the audience. Haapsalu Dome Church from the 13th century is an excellent place to do so, but concerts are also held in Jaani Church, Resort Hall, and elsewhere in Haapsalu.

Palivere is famous for its sand dunes and pine forests. Pikajalamägi or Pikajala Hill is the highest point in Lääne County – 51 m – and home to a fortress whose construction began in the early part of the second millennium but was never completed. Around 11,000 years ago the sea lapped the foot of the hill. The old ski jumping tower on the hill is no longer in use, but it offers unbeatable views over the surrounding area. Hiking trails also wind their way over and around the hill.
Did you know…?
*The spring at the foot of the hill is said to have a restorative effect on the eyes, making them sparkle and leaving you looking forever young! And if you toss a coin in it during spring, they say you will never run out of money…
