Muhu

Muhu Museum
Koguva küla, Muhu vald, Saare maakond

The museum is located in the beautiful Koguva village. It's also the birthplace of Estonian writer Juhan Smuul.

Üügu Bluff
Muhu

It's the largest and most attractive of Muhu's many bluffs being ca. 300m long.

The nature of Muhu has largely been left undisturbed in the past fifty years. It's the natural habitat to 23 species of very rare orchids. Muhu is also home to many migrating birds, which take temporarily shelter in the various bays.

Villages on Muhu are even today still headed by traditional village eldermen, who take up the role of voluntary counsel. Many of the villages are charming in their simplicity and worth having a look especially because in terms of tourism, Muhu has remained rather untainted so far.

St Catherine Church

It's one of the oldest in Estonia and is notable for its trapezium-shaped tombstones with pagan symbols. The most intricate tombstone depicts the pagan Tree of Life.
