Saare County

Formed around Saaremaa and the surrounding Baltic islands, Saare County has grown into Estonia’s westernmost county. The Baltic Sea sets the rhythm here: low limestone shores, juniper meadows, forests and small harbours extend across an archipelago that also includes Muhu and Ruhnu. Kuressaare, the county seat, is known for its well-preserved episcopal castle, whose origins date to the 14th century. Inland, the Kaali meteorite crater field is among Estonia’s most remarkable geological sites. Ferries link the larger islands to the mainland, while local food traditions draw on fish, rye bread and dairy produce.
