Kapasto forest hut

The forest hut deep in the heart of the Hiiumaa Island, in a place of an old forest keeper’s house.

Kapasto forest hut stands deep in the forests at the heart of Hiiumaa, about 8 km from Nõmba, on the spot where a forest keeper's house once stood. Forest keepers' farms like this were scattered through Estonia's state forests, where the keeper lived with his family and watched over his district. Today a simple hut with a fireplace, a table and a sleeping deck remains, with a well in the yard for washing water and room for many tents around it. The surrounding woods include several forest types and protected key habitats, and the last 2.4 km of the way is marked with RMK signs.
