Fauna
Hiiumaa is a critical stopover for migratory birds, making it a premier bird-watching destination. Thousands of waterfowl, raptors, and songbirds pass through the island each spring and autumn.
Year-round residents include deer, wild boar, foxes, and various small mammals. The surrounding waters are home to seals, and lucky visitors might spot these curious creatures basking on coastal rocks.
Flora
The island is covered with ancient coniferous and mixed forests, where pines, spruces, and birches have grown for centuries. In spring and summer, wildflower meadows burst with color, while coastal areas feature unique plant species adapted to the harsh maritime climate.
Rare orchids, juniper groves, and medicinal herbs thrive in protected areas, making every walk a botanical discovery.
