Legend
Suur Tõll and Leiger
Suur Tõll, the giant of Saaremaa, and Leiger, the giant of Hiiumaa, were good friends and called to each other across the sea. Leiger decided to build a stone bridge from Hiiumaa to Saaremaa so that they could visit each other dry-footed, and began carrying boulders out into the sea. The bridge was never finished. The long, narrow stony spit of Sääretirp on Kassari, reaching three kilometres into the sea, is said to be where Leiger started it.

Saaremaa hiiglane Suur Tõll ja Hiiumaa hiiglane Leiger olid head sõbrad ja hüüdsid teineteisele üle mere. Leiger otsustas ehitada Hiiumaalt Saaremaale kivisilla, et nad saaksid kuiva jalaga külas käia, ja hakkas kive merre kandma. Sild jäi pooleli. Pikk ja kitsas kivine Sääretirp Kassaril, mis ulatub kolm kilomeetrit merre, olevat koht, kust Leiger silda ehitama hakkas.
