Overview

Why visit Käsmu Nature and Cultural History Trail

A 4.2 km marked route exploring Käsmu’s maritime village, peninsula and glacial boulders.

Why stop here

Choose this for a coastal walk with village history and rocky scenery. It offers a different experience from a sandy swimming-beach visit, with the peninsula landscape forming the main attraction.

Plan your visit

The official route starts at the car park beside the chapel and uses white painted trail marks. Plan footwear and time for a 4.2 km walk, follow the marked route and check conditions before setting out. The map identifies the trail destination, not a supervised swimming beach.
