Rohuküla: Rohukula: Ääsmäe–Haapsalu–Rohuküla
Tucked along the shores of Väinameri, Rohuküla is a place whose character is shaped by its role as a mainland ferry port. It forms the western end of Estonia’s Route 9, the Ääsmäe–Haapsalu–Rohuküla road, after the route passes through Haapsalu and reaches the coast in Lääne County. Ferries from Rohuküla provide regular sea links to the islands of Hiiumaa and Vormsi, making its terminal an important connection between the mainland and the West Estonian archipelago. Its vehicle lanes, passenger facilities and berths reflect a working transport landscape rather than a resort waterfront. Nearby Haapsalu is known for its spa tradition and its 13th-century episcopal castle.

Rohuküla occupies a low mainland shoreline on the waters of Väinameri in Estonia’s Lääne County. This small harbour settlement is an important mainland departure point for ferries across the West Estonian archipelago: regular routes connect it with Heltermaa on Hiiumaa and Sviby on Vormsi. Its setting is defined by open coastal water, working quays and the broad, level terrain of western Estonia rather than an urban waterfront. Rohuküla lies in Haapsalu municipality, near the historic resort town of Haapsalu, long associated with seaside holidays and therapeutic mud.

Lääne County is best known within Estonia for Haapsalu, a historic Baltic resort town with an episcopal castle and an unusually long wooden railway platform. Set on Estonia’s west coast, the county looks across the Väinameri strait system towards a low, island-dotted shore; Vormsi is among its inhabited islands. Matsalu National Park, centred on Matsalu Bay, protects reed beds, coastal meadows and shallow waters important during bird migration. Haapsalu’s long association with spa culture adds an urban counterpoint to quiet coastal settlements and open sea horizons. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Lääne County.
