Tihu forest hut

Tihu forest hut can be accessed by foot only. The forest hut is a good place for hikers to rest their tired feet and make fire.

Tihu forest hut is in the forests and wetlands of central Hiiumaa, reached only on foot from a four-way road junction off the Õngu road. It lies on the Tihu hiking and study trails, and close by is Lake Tihu, known for its water and bog birds. A 200 m boardwalk leads from the trail to an observation platform on the shore, a quiet place for birdwatching. The hut is simple, with wall benches and a covered fireplace, and visitors bring their own water. It is in the Tihu special management zone, so no fires may be lit outside the hut, and in summer mosquito repellent is a good idea.
