Southern Kassari narrows to a promontory with some unusual vegetation and ends in a thin 3km spit of land, the tip of which juts out into the sea. It’s a beautiful place for a walk and there’s a small but surprisingly popular reedy beach on the way.
Legend has it that the rocky outcrop is the remains of an aborted bridge that local hero Leiger started to build to Saaremaa, to make it easier for his brother, Saaremaa’s hero Suur Töll, to visit and join in various heroic acts. As for Leiger, there’s a statue of him at the Sääre Tirp fork, carrying a boulder on his shoulder.
