Where to go

RMK hiking route Heltermaa-Ristna-Sarve / Tihu-Sarve (56 km)

 
Hiiu County, Hiiumaa Recreation Area
The final part of the Hiiumaa branch of RMK Hiking Route starts at Tihu forest hut and takes the hikers back towards Heltermaa – to Sarve campsite, located just 3 km from the port. Hikers may also want to head for Sõru harbour, where they can take the ferry to Saaremaa island.
On this section of the trail, distances between rest stops are very long and therefore hikers need to prepare for the journey more carefully.
This section also includes a sea crossing between the eastern coast of Kassari island and Hiiumaa, where the water level is low most of the time but you should still be prepared to get your feet wet.
Amenities
