Noarootsi Peninsula
Noarootsi poolsaar
A peninsula on Haapsalu's north shore, once home to Swedish settlers, with manors, pine-lined beaches, and bogs and lakes for walking.
The Noarootsi Peninsula lies across the bay from Haapsalu, and driving around it covers about 30 km. This was once the home of the Coastal Swedes. Sights include Pürksi Manor and the ruins of the 14th-century Noarootsi Church. The north shore has quiet beaches and pine forest, and the areas around lakes such as Alika Lake are good for hiking and birdwatching. It suits a half-day drive or bike ride. Picnics by the sea are popular in summer, but the sights are spread out, so bring your own transport.
