Discover Perjatsi

• Kiideniiduoja Hiiemägi and Hiie kaldad are located on a natural steep coastal slope; Kiideniiduoja Hiiemägi offers a very good view of the sea.
• The Kiideniidu Hiieoja stream is also called Kiideniidu oja or Perjatsi oja and flows through the village to the sea.
• The aim of the Perjatsi Special Conservation Zone is to preserve and restore biological diversity and the landscape.
• Perjatsi Hiiemägi is a cultural heritage site. The Kiideniidu ohvrikivi sacrificial stone is on the grounds of the Kiideniidu farmstead, now Niidu.
• The Perjatsi community hall was completed in June 1910.

The landscape can be understood through its different features: Kiideniiduoja Hiiemägi and Hiie kaldad are located on the natural steep coastal slope, while the view from Kiideniiduoja Hiiemägi faces the sea. The slope and the view are specific aspects of Perjatsi’s natural environment.

The Kiideniidu Hiieoja stream flows through the village from south to north towards the sea. West of and below Hiiekalda, it runs northeast. These directions describe different spatial references for the same stream. Its surroundings are also described differently from one place to another: the section immediately west of the steep coastal slope is largely wild and untouched by human activity.

This is distinct from the aim of the Perjatsi Special Conservation Zone, which focuses on preserving and restoring biological diversity and the landscape. Thus, a specific description of the stream section and the conservation area’s objective sit side by side without saying the same thing.

Perjatsi Hiiemägi is a cultural heritage site associated with a former farmstead called Hiiemäe. The place may have been considered sacred by Estonians. This sacred significance is a possibility; the connection to the former farmstead and its designation as a cultural heritage site are separate facts.

The Kiideniidu ohvrikivi sacrificial stone is located on the grounds of the Kiideniidu farmstead, now Niidu. It has a circumference of 17 metres and is 2.5 metres high. Another dated reference in the area’s history is the community hall, which was completed in June 1910.

When comparing destinations, the coastal landscape and stream on the one hand, and the cultural heritage and local history on the other, can guide your choice of interests. This keeps your choice of destination grounded in its landscape and cultural features, while your accommodation choice can be based on information about each property.
