The Island
Muhu Island &
Võiküla village
Muhu is Estonia's third-largest island — a place where time itself comes to rest. With 8,000 years of history, it sits on the ancient Silver-White Route where Vikings, merchants, and fortune seekers once sailed between two Baltic straits. Today, the island remains one of Europe's best-kept secrets: juniper-covered meadows, 65 documented sacred sites, and the only traditional windmills in Estonia still turning.
Võiküla is one of Muhu's ancient villages, known for its cobblestone road built during the First World War and the surrounding alvar grasslands — a rare limestone habitat found nowhere else in the world. Kadakamarja lies between the Muhu Nature Park and Võiküla village, along a 3.5 km old paved stone road from the Kuivastu ferry port.

Island traditions & events
Juu Jaab Festival
An annual music and culture festival that transforms the island into a gathering place for artists, musicians, and creative spirits from across Europe.
Midsummer Jazz
Each midsummer, internationally renowned jazz musicians perform on the island — intimate concerts under the endless Baltic twilight.
Muhu Handicraft
World-famous for its traditional knitted mittens and vibrant folk costumes. The Muhu embroidery patterns are a living art form, passed through generations.
Sacred Heritage
Sixty-five documented sacred sites dot the island — ancient crossroads, offering stones, and groves where pagan traditions quietly endure.
Getting here
From the Kuivastu ferry port, follow the old paved stone road for 3.5 km — a 25-minute drive through ancient landscape. Kadakamarja sanctuary lies between the Muhu Nature Park and Võiküla village.
