Foot-and-mouth, a severe animal disease, is currently circulating in Europe and also poses a threat to animals in Estonia. Your help is needed to prevent animals here – sheep, cattle, goats, and other ungulates – from becoming infected. We ask that you please follow some important recommendations.
One of
the most captivating places on the Vormsi Island
is the Huitberg limestone outcrop in the middle of a spruce forest, in the
centre of the island. This more than 400 million years old coral reef smoothed
by glacial abrasion has formed from calcareous exoskeletons of animals living
in the shallow tropical seas during the Ordovician. On the outcrop, where it is
not covered with moss, you can admire fossils or rare protected ferns growing
in limestone cavities.
The trail starts by Suuremõisa and is marked with signposts and an information board.
