Pusku at a glance

Points of interest include the existing swimming spot, marked on the ground, and Topu Bay on the coast of Läänemaa. Pusku Turismitalu has a Finnish sauna. The Pusku Turismitalu floating sauna offers a sauna experience at sea; a boat trip to the sauna is part of it. It can accommodate up to ten people at a time.

What does Topu Bay tell us about the area?

Topu is a bay in Väinameri on the coast of Läänemaa. It lies where the former village of Suure-Pusku once stood. This places the bay in both a geographical and historical context: Väinameri and Läänemaa indicate its location, while Suure-Pusku points to the former settlement. If you want to explore Pusku beyond its water-based activities, this former village offers a specific connection to its history. The bay can thus be understood both through its location and through the settlement history of this place.

What wider landscape setting does Matsalu offer?

Matsalu National Park protects landscapes characteristic of western Estonia, as well as the cultural heritage of the Väinameri region. Almost 3,000 hectares of the park are coastal meadows. Compared with the specific setting of Topu Bay, this brings a broader perspective into focus: a landscape with extensive meadows and regional cultural heritage. If you are interested in landscape and culture as well as a single local point of interest, Matsalu offers a wider regional context.

How do the swimming spot and sauna experience differ?

The swimming spot is an existing place marked on the ground. At the Pusku Turismitalu floating sauna, the boat trip to the sauna is part of the experience at sea and shapes how it unfolds. Pusku Turismitalu also has a Finnish sauna on its grounds. These places therefore suit different interests: a marked swimming spot, a Finnish sauna on the grounds, and a sauna at sea that you reach by boat. If you are choosing between the swimming spot and a sauna experience, this distinction helps you avoid treating the offerings as the same.

How do you get to Pusku Turismitalu?

From Haapsalu, first drive 7 km towards Rohuküla. At the sign for Väike-Ahli, turn left and continue for another 2 km. Then turn right onto a gravel road; after a further 500 m, your destination is on the right. The route can therefore be divided into three sections: the drive towards Rohuküla, the turn for Väike-Ahli, and the final stretch on gravel. As road conditions can change, check the route before setting off.
