Rumpo peninsula, with its junipers of varying density and age, is home to unique and rare lichen communities. Notably, it is the only place in Estonia where Flavocetraria is found.

The Rumpo peninsula on Vormsi, with its juniper thickets of every age and density, is home to unique and rare lichen communities; it is the only place in Estonia where a tundra lichen known in Estonian as harilik tundrasamblik has been found. The lichen carpets are easily damaged by trampling, so keep to the path. This 6.7 km mostly there-and-back trail from the village to the tip of the peninsula crosses pastures and private land: close the gates behind you. Three 2.7-metre platforms look over Hullo and Sviby bays, where waterbirds nest and migrate.
