Located near the coastal town of Haapsalu in western Estonia, the tiny picturesque village Nova and the beautiful Noarootsi Peninsula are popular holiday destinations for people who like kayaking, sailing, and wind surfing. In the winter, there is touring on the ice roads for those who like an adrenaline rush. Nõva is famous for the small unique wooden St. Olaf's church built in 18th century. Noarootsi is known for its lovely beaches surrounded by pine forests. That whole coastal area was almost entirely populated by Swedish-speaking people until the mid-20th century. Besides the centuries-old Swedish heritage, there are also traces of much more recent Soviet military presence in the area. Nõva is surrounded by three nature reserves, protected areas for local flora and fauna. The whole area is fantastic for watching migrating birds.
