Huitberg hiking trail (3 km)

One of the most captivating places on the Vormsi Island is the Huitberg limestone outcrop in the middle of a spruce forest, in the centre of the island.

In the spruce forest at the centre of Vormsi island, this 3 km loop leads to the Huitberg limestone knoll. The rock was a coral reef more than 400 million years ago, built in a shallow tropical Ordovician sea from the limy skeletons of tiny animals, and later polished smooth by the ice. Where moss leaves the stone bare you can find fossils, and protected ferns grow in the hollows of the limestone. The trail starts near Suuremõisa and is marked with wooden signs; there is a picnic table on the way.
