Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Ruhnu is a small island in the Bay of Riga about 11.5 square kilometers in size and almost 40 kilometers off the coast of Estonia. The island was disputed between Latvia and Estonia until its residents voted to be part of Estonia. There is a small village in the heart of the island with a lovely wooden church built in the 17th century. The village is surrounded by dense old forests with many rare tree species. The whole area is heavenly for hiking, with many scenic paths crossing the island. There is always a pleasant sea breeze bringing in the smells of the ocean. The island is sparsely populated, and it is possible to hike for hours without meeting a soul. On the east end of the island is a popular Lido beach that gets crowded in the summer.
