Overview

Why visit Ristna Lighthouse

A lighthouse on western Hiiumaa for views above the forest and coast when the tower is open.

Why stop here

Concrete reinforcing belts give the metal tower its distinctive ribbed appearance. When the tower is open, the climb offers views across the Kõpu forests and towards the sea.

Plan your visit

Check admission and opening dates before travelling. Off-season visits may require advance arrangements, and the climb involves stairs.

Make it part of your day

Plan Ristna Beach as a separate stop for time at sea level after the tower. The lighthouse and beach have different approaches.
