Legend
Lobi, the village the plague missed
Lobi küla ja eksinud katk
Lobi is a tiny fishing village on the Vergi peninsula, first recorded as a strand in 1534 and home to just three coastal farmers in 1583. After the Great Northern War and the plague of 1710, many villages along this coast stood empty. Lobi, the legend says, was spared because the plague lost its way on the narrow peninsula and turned back towards the mainland along the road it had come. Today the village has a small museum, old boat landings and two named village stones, Unikivi and Tantsukivi, where people once swung and danced.

Eesti keeles
Lobi on pisike rannaküla Vergi poolsaarel, mida on esmamainitud rannana 1534. aastal ja kus 1583. aastal elas vaid kolm rannatalupoega. Pärast Põhjasõda ja katku jäid paljud selle ranniku külad tühjaks. Legendi järgi jäi Lobi aga alles, sest katk eksis kitsal poolsaarel teelt ja pöördus tuldud teed mööda mandri poole tagasi. Täna on külas väike muuseum, vanad paadilautrid ning kaks nimega kivi, Unikivi ja Tantsukivi, mille juures kunagi kiiguti ja tantsiti.
