04.06.25 Day 28 Day 28 Muhu-Haapsalu. More wood chips than you've ever seen and Back on the mainland.

I went for the short route to Triigi and the ferry to Hiluuma. The islands are very flat (almost like the Netherlands), and like everywhere dominated by forests and agriculture. I also saw quite a few stone fences, indicating a more stony soil.

Ferry from Triigi leaving 12:30, 46km away, giving me ample time to reach it.

Time for a break on the seaside

I saw a viper here, but it vanished before I could take a picture.

Ferry approaching Hilumaa

On Hiluuma I had a little more than two hours to reach the 16:00  ferry, which appeared to be too little. Not a problem, but it became a bit late to reach Haapsalu, a nice place on the shore.

As said before, you often are in a forest, even close to the sea.

Pine forest on Hilumaa. Could be eastern Norway

But there were some interesting things here also.

To the experts: how many MW?
Spoiler: much less than one.

Museum in Käina
Surprising architecture

Close to Heltermaa, where the ferry goes, there is a huge wood chip terminal. I've never seen something like this of this size.
