Liivane

Liivane is a small village located in the Ida County of Estonia. It is situated on the coast of the Gulf of Riga, approximately 30 kilometers northwest of the city of Haapsalu. The village has a total area of 3.8 square kilometers and has a population of around 10 residents.

The history of Liivane dates back to the 16th century, with the first written records mentioning the village in 1522. Over the centuries, Liivane has been a small rural community, primarily engaged in agriculture and fishing. The village has been part of various administrative districts, including the Haapsalu province and the Harju Province.

In terms of geography, Liivane is situated within the temperate maritime climate zone, characterized by cool and relatively dry summers, and long, cold winters. The village is part of the larger coastal landscape of the Gulf of Riga, with the region's unique geology and hydrography influencing the climate and environment.

Today, Liivane remains a small and peaceful village, with a few resident homes and offices. The village has no amenities or services for visitors, and tourism is not a significant component of the local economy. The nearest larger settlements are the city of Haapsalu and the town of Lihula, which provide access to shops, schools, and other services. As a result of its rural location and limited infrastructure, Liivane remains a relatively understudied and often overlooked part of Estonian geography and history.
