Orjaku Bird Tower & Käina Bay
Orjaku linnutorn, Käina laht
Käina Bay, a shallow lagoon, is an important waterbird habitat. The bird tower and boardwalks offer views of swans, cranes and flocks of geese.
Käina Bay is a shallow sea bay between the main island of Hiiumaa and Kassari Island. Most of it is less than a metre deep, and it is dotted with reeds and small islets. It is part of the Käina Bay bird sanctuary and an important breeding and resting site for waterbirds on the Baltic. The bird tower and nature trail beside Orjaku harbour overlook the bay. During spring and autumn migration, large flocks of swans, geese, ducks and common cranes can be seen, and in summer there are terns and various wading birds. Admission is free, and binoculars are recommended. The small Orjaku harbour has a café and kayak rentals.
