Ninaotsa campsite

The campsite on the top of the Ninametsa peninsula offers beautiful views of the coast, but there are no sandy beaches here. The coast is grassy and the bay water shallow. This is the place for making campfire and enjoying sunsets!

Ninaotsa campsite stands on the tip of the Ninametsa peninsula near Kõrgessaare in north-west Hiiumaa, with wide views along the coast. The shore here is grassy rather than sandy and the bay is shallow, so it is more a place for fires and sunsets than for swimming. An information board tells of Kõrgessaare manor and its 18th-century owner, Baron Otto Reinhold Ludwig von Ungern-Sternberg, a shipowner around whom many dark rumours grew. In 1802 he was arrested for the killing of a ship's captain; he claimed self-defence but was convicted and exiled to Tobolsk in Siberia, where he died in 1811.
