Construction of a Baltic Fleet base for destroyers and torpedo boats also began in the summer of 1915. Those interested in port and military history will therefore find a specific thematic point of reference here for their travel planning.
This historical context can be combined with the port’s present-day function. The port of Rohuküla serves the Rohuküla–Heltermaa ferry route.
Which paths are suitable for cycling and walking tours?
The Läänemaa Tervisetee follows the railway embankment of the Turba–Haapsalu–Rohuküla railway line and is almost 54 kilometres long. It was created for pedestrians and cyclists. Kilometre posts and marker stones placed at intervals of 100 metres help with orientation. The surface consists of compacted gravel. For day planning, you can compare the length, markings and surface with your personal tour plans.
Another perspective is offered by the Tuuru–Rohuküla section of the Baltic Coastal Hiking Route. Small villages alternate there with fields, pastures, farmsteads and limestone quarries. The section is suitable for cycling along its entire length, with the exception of the nature trail. This places different landscape impressions alongside an explicitly stated restriction within the same route section.
What should you consider when looking for accommodation?
Organise your search according to which experiences you actually want to combine. A stay focusing on port history and the ferry route involves different priorities than several days on the Läänemaa Tervisetee or the Tuuru–Rohuküla section. The marked bathing area by the ports can also be included in your personal planning.
