Western Saaremaa Sights

Discover Western Saaremaa with GuidedSaaremaa

This Western Saaremaa tour by GuidedSaaremaa is designed for travelers who want to experience the island beyond the usual routes. Starting from Kuressaare, the tour takes you west across the historic Long Bridge, a well-known limestone structure and an important connection in Saaremaa’s history.

Along the way, we stop at the legendary OO Boulder, a natural landmark linked to local folklore. Is it a horse or simply a stone? Moments like this are part of what makes Saaremaa tours so engaging — stories, nature, and imagination come together.

At the Viki Farm Museum, you’ll discover traditional Saaremaa farm life. This historic farmstead was home to the same family for centuries and offers insight into how island communities lived before electricity and modern technology. GuidedSaaremaa tours focus on places like this, where everyday history feels real and personal.

In Kihelkonna, we visit St. Michael’s Church from the late 13th century, its rare free-standing bell tower, and one of the largest historic cemeteries in Saaremaa. This stop highlights the cultural and spiritual heritage that makes guided tours in Saaremaa so rich and meaningful.

One of the most cheerful stops on this tour is the famous stone sheep collection. These playful stone figures form a unique outdoor attraction, each sheep slightly different from the next. It’s a relaxed and joyful moment that guests often remember as a highlight of their Saaremaa guided tour.

Before returning to Kuressaare, we visit the Rauna Viewing Tower, where wide views over forests and lakes offer a peaceful ending to the day. It’s the perfect final stop on a Western Saaremaa tour, bringing together nature, history, and the calm rhythm of island life.
