Rebastemäe study trail’s Kaplimäe observation tower (700 m from the parking)

The Rebastemäe study trail is circle, it starts and ends at the same point. After the Rebastemäe tower, the trail forks. If you go along the left branch, the observation tower is 800 m away, and if you go along the right branch, it is 700 m away.

On Kaplimägi, at 63.5 m the second-highest hill on Hiiumaa, stands a small 4-metre wooden tower with views over the forests of the Kõpu peninsula and, to the north, the Baltic Sea. It is 700 or 800 metres from the start of the Rebastemäe loop, depending on the branch. Folk tales say a chapel once stood on the hill, but the pastor was such a stout man that climbing up every Sunday was torture, so he set fire to the chapel himself to be spared the effort.
