Sõru is a small village located in Hiiumaa Parish, which is part of Hiiu County in northwestern Estonia. It's a quiet place, known mainly for its connection to the sea.
Even though the village is called Sõru, its main feature, the Sõru harbour, is actually found in the nearby village of Pärna. This harbour is very important because it connects the island of Hiiumaa to another large Estonian island, Saaremaa. From Sõru harbour, a special ferry service travels regularly to Triigi on Saaremaa. This ferry helps people and goods move between the islands.
Exploring Sõru Village
Sõru is a peaceful village where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the Estonian coast. It's a great spot for those who love the sea and quiet surroundings.
Life by the Sea
Life in Sõru is closely linked to the Baltic Sea. The harbour, even though it's technically in Pärna, is a central point for the area. It supports local activities and helps people travel.
The Importance of Ferries
Ferries are like floating bridges for island communities. The ferry from Sõru to Triigi is vital for islanders. It allows them to visit family, go to school, or transport goods. This connection helps the islands stay connected to the rest of Estonia.
