Already about 455 million years ago in the vicinity of the present-day Kärdla a round archipelago with approximately 10km in diameter arose as a result of a meteorite explosion. These were the first islands in Hiiumaa area and the mentioned millions of years make Hiiumaa really one of the oldest island in the world.
In Estonia it is difficult to find a place with more picturesque nature than it is on the island Hiiumaa. The variety of landscape is what makes Hiiumaa a desired place to come. The types of picturesque landscape are changing immensely quikly. The landscape in one end of the island is totally different from the one in another end, varying in the beauty and diverse miniature, interlacing smoothly and making Hiiumaa the unique place to stay. During a sunny summer one could enjoy kilometres long alluring sandy beaches along the coastline of Tahkuna and Kõpu peninsulas.
For Hiiumaa small islets around the island are like colourful pearls around the neck of a beautiful woman. Some of these more than 200 islands and islets have no flora and fauna for they have only recently merged from the sea. Some of them are aforrested.
Thanks to the surrounding sea, the climate on Hiiumaa is a bit different from the one on the continent. There are more sunny days with and less rainy days.
The inhabitants of Hiiumaa are peaceful and tolerant by character. They live close to nature, love it and are children of nature in their soul. The most important thing is to have a sense of humor - people of Hiiumaa love jokes.

One should only truly wish to experience all the endless richnesses of Hiiumaa - the Island of The Daylight. |
