- DoubleUDTallinn, Estonia19 contributionsThe crater is impressive and there is good information available on its history. Parking is nearby, and there’s also a food store if you need one.Written 18 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tomi WickmanHelsinki, Finland2,159 contributionsYou can see the Baltic see on the right side of the peninsula and the Riga bay on the left side. Coffee shop and a fish restaurant next to it. Visit the lighthouse too. Cool visitWritten 26 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Greg FAuckland Central, New Zealand990 contributionsNice spot for an evening stroll in Kurressare, and why not enjoy it with a mythical tale of the area.
The sculpture depicts Suur Tõll , a mythical hero of the island Saaremaa, and his wife Piret.
According to the Legend, Sõrve peninsula was important to Tõll, as from there he reached the shortest way to the island Ruhnu, where he had his cabbage field. When his wife Piret started to make a fire under the cauldron, then Tõll went through the sea to his cabbage field and came back in half an hour, so that he could hand Piret the cabbages when the water had just started to boil.Written 22 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - nycladybugNew York City, NY28 contributionsI visited Good Kaarma as part of a G Adventures tour I was traveling with. The owners have done a great job creating an inviting, warm environment that radiates with loving energy. The morning that we went to Good Kaarma to learn more about soap making, my stomach wasn't feeling well. Our tour guide told the owner and she immediately made me a hot drink with apple cider vinegar and within 30 minutes I felt like a new person. The soaps smell so good and are made with all natural ingredients. I would highly encourage making this a stop if you visit Saaremaa Island.Written 11 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tl1982Slovenia28 contributionsThe monument was built in the Soviet era to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the Red Army. The inscription on the monument - to the "defenders and liberators" of Saaremaa - clearly reflects the political views of the Soviet side and is probably something that few Estonians these days would identify with.
Yet for all that, stopping by the monument does give you an opportunity to think about the troubled past and perhaps reflect on the brutality of war that took place there not all that long ago. Even more so, all the politics aside, it is a very quiet, tranquil spot much like many other historic battlefields.
We took the time to walk around the nearby beach and forest, which is absolutely stunning, with plenty of moss and mushrooms. The contrast between the beauty of nature and the man-made horrors of war makes this a very special place.Written 26 September 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - contilloVilnius, Lithuania37 contributionsIt is such a nice view and path that leads to the crater. The colour of the crater is light green and looks interesting. The crater is small from the top but when you come closer it looks much biggerWritten 8 August 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Lynne SWinters, CA595 contributionsA peaceful place to walk through. Great ice cream shop on one edge. Stop and catch up on your reading.Written 2 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ᑎᓚᓐJericho, VT33 contributionsWas nice to visit during the holiday season with a Christmas tree and other holiday decorations. Just very relaxing and antique-feeling. There's also plenty of restaurants there and a nice old church.Written 13 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- PBTravelstheWorldLynden, WA398 contributionsVery large church in small village/farm. Though it was locked up tight it was an interesting stop to walk around. There are a few other carved stones under protective roofs to see and some information (to weathered to read). The carving on the building is interesting and this obviously supported a much bigger congregation then the small village in the immediate area today.Written 29 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Pekka Tai Joku V9 contributionsA bit poor condition. Better visit would be REO. 12 km from city center. Open every day. Monks and nuns labouring in gardens.Written 5 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Gene R JSilver Spring, MD7,849 contributionsAfter shopping in the COOP Supermarket, we walked around the town center, now undergoing renovation, and spotted the tall white tower of this church and decided to enter.
After the vestibule, the second door opened to the interior and we were overwhelmed with organ music. It turns out there was a recital and after several minutes, the organist descended the back stairs to congregation applause and received a bouquet of flowers at the front. Beautiful white interior columns, pews, and altar.Written 19 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
