Exploring Pärna Village
Pärna is a quiet place that offers a glimpse into Estonian village life. It is located on the island of Hiiumaa, which is Estonia's second-largest island. The village is a great spot to enjoy nature and the calm atmosphere of the Baltic Sea region.
Sõru Harbour
One of the most important places in Pärna is Sõru harbour. A harbour is a place where boats and ships can safely dock. Sõru harbour is a busy spot for local fishermen and also for ferries that connect Hiiumaa to other parts of Estonia. It's a key link for people and goods traveling to and from the island.
The harbour is not just for transport. It's also a popular place for visitors to enjoy the sea views. You can often see different kinds of boats here, from small fishing vessels to larger passenger ferries.

Right next to Sõru harbour, you can find the Sõru Museum. This museum tells the story of the local area, especially its history with the sea. It shows how people lived and worked in this coastal region a long time ago.
The museum has interesting exhibits about fishing, shipbuilding, and the daily lives of the villagers. It's a great place to learn about the traditions and culture of Hiiumaa island.
