Huitberg Hiking Trail and Limestone Mound

The Huitberg Hiking Trail and Limestone Mound are on Vormsi island, near Suuremõisa village, in a spruce forest. The trail’s main sight is a fossilised coral reef more than 400 million years old, a reminder of the time when sea covered the area of today’s island. The continental ice sheet smoothed the surface of the mound, and an observant visitor may spot fossils in the moss-covered rock. Rare protected ferns also grow nearby. The circular trail is marked with wooden signposts and suits a relaxed walk in the forest. When exploring the mound, take care of nature and avoid damaging the protected plants.
