THE LEANING TOWER of SAAREMAA! EXPLORING ESTONIAS SUMMER DESTINATION ISLAND & VILSANDI NATIONAL PARK

Our summer tour of Estonia is really giving us the chance to get to know this beautiful little country and it’s islands. In this video we head out to Vilsandi National Park on the island of Saaremaa. We make the 4.5km walk over to see Kiipsaare Lighthouse which is known as the Pisa Tower of Saaremaa due to becoming tilted as a result of strong storms and waves.

Kiipsaare lighthouse was completed in 1933 and is 26 metres high. Initially, the lighthouse was constructed about 100m from the coast; however, due to changes in the shoreline, it is now located in the sea!

We had a great time checking out all the beautiful secluded little beaches along the way and as we have found everywhere here this summer in Estonia, the mosquitoes (and other bitey flying things) are everywhere! Bug spray is essential but only does so much - our legs are both covered in bruises and bites from the relentless little critters - you’ll also spot a few squashed on our car windscreen as a handful flew in pretty much every time we opened the doors.

The walk was very scenic though and rewarding, once you reach Kiipsaare lighthouse and the beach which also has a little sand spit that goes way out to sea! :)

Upcoming videos!

Join us next time as we continue exploring the Estonian island of Saaremaa and head East to see something out of this world, literally!

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this Youtube channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)
