The Kaali estate (German k Scarf) emerged in the mid-16th century as one of the most important and yet enigmatic attractions of Saaremaa? Scale meteorite crater? to the southeast side. That a deep lake with a diameter of one hundred meters between the high ramparts has emerged from the impact of a meteorite that fell from the sky, it was not until 1937 that the research revealed. The cable then became Europe's first proven meteorite crater. When the meteorite fell into Kaal is not quite known; there are several opinions. Until now, it was thought to have happened several thousands of years before Christ. However, the latest research has shown that this event likely took place much later, probably somewhere 400 years before Christ. In any case, it is one of the most recent and distinguished meteorite craters in Europe. The preserved folk tradition in the form of folk songs, antiquities, etc. promises to claim, anyway, that the meteorite fell on the inhabited island land.
