Rammu Island<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rammu Island is located in Northern Estonia, in the Kolga Bay archipelago<\/a>. The horseshoe-shaped islet has an area of 1.12 km\u00b2.<\/p>\n

In the mid-19th century, the island was still home to about ten Estonian families and a few Swedish ones, but during the Soviet era Rammu became part of the border zone, and permanent settlement was prohibited. Today, Rammu has become a small, private summer retreat.<\/p>\n

From the former coastal village, only a few foundations, cellars, stone fences, and a nearby cemetery remain. In terms of nature, Rammu is best known for its pebble beaches and extensive bearberry fields covering the ground. Nature enthusiasts can explore a 2.5 km hiking trail and two birdwatching towers built by the State Forest Management Centre (RMK).<\/p>\n

One of the most famous stories about Rammu tells of a whale that washed ashore on the island\u2019s coast in the 19th century. The carcass was later shown for money at fairs, and its skeleton was sold to the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, where it is said to still be preserved today.<\/p>\n
