Aksi Island Tour
Aksi Island is the neighboring island of Prangli, which is why it's often called "Little Prangli." What impresses visitors most are the island's extraordinary natural landscapes.
Thanks to the Aksberg family who once lived here, Aksi is known for its shipbuilding history. On the island, you can see a unique stone labyrinth dating back to 1849 and hear fascinating stories about the island's colorful settlement before World War II.
Today, the island is permanently uninhabited and under nature protection. Aksi has no harbor of its own. To reach the island, a private boat must be arranged. That means a visit to Aksi depends on wind conditions and can turn into quite a sea adventure.

Canoeing Through the Apocalyptic Smarde's Green Bog
In the mid-20th century, Smarde's Green Bog witnessed peat extraction until the revelation of hydrogen sulfide mineral waters beneath, leading to the cessation of peat mining in 1960. This halt also marked the end of water pumping from peat quarries, transforming them into water reservoirs. Despite the mining's cessation, drainage systems persist in influencing the bog's water dynamics. Cormorants, or sea crows, have chosen this altered landscape as their habitat, crafting nests among the withered trees. The bog's vivid emerald waters, alongside desiccated trees and cormorant colonies, form its distinctive hallmark, resulting in a uniquely captivating landscape with an almost apocalyptic ambiance.

Sauna ritual at Smoke sauna
The smoke sauna is a good example of our ancient sauna traditions. It gives sauna enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy the same sauna pleasures as our ancestors did. Enjoying a smoke sauna is much more than just relaxation – it’s a step back to the time when our ancestors experienced a sauna session as a deeply personal and spiritual experience. A smoke sauna is a unique experience that connects you with nature, history and your soul. During the ritual, we pamper the senses with the soft touch of aromatic sauna towels, nourish the skin with moisturizing honey and treat ourselves to soothing herbal tea, creating a pleasurable and relaxing experience at the same time.
