Tasä

Tasä is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, approximately 15 kilometers off the coast of Estonia. The island belongs to the municipality of Saaremaa in the county of Saare, and it is part of the larger archipelago known as the Moonsund Archipelago. Tasä is primarily known for its natural beauty, remote location, and limited accessibility, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking solitude.

The island covers an area of around 1.5 square kilometers and features rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and dense forests. Its coastline is characterized by steep, rocky shores that drop into the sea, creating dramatic views and a unique coastal landscape. Tasä is also notable for its rich biodiversity, with various bird species, including seabirds and migratory birds, inhabiting the area. The island is a protected natural area, contributing to its ecological significance.

Historically, Tasä has not been heavily developed, and human activity on the island has been minimal. There are no permanent residents, and access is restricted, requiring permission from local authorities. The island is accessible by boat from nearby islands such as Saaremaa or Muhu, but there are no regular ferry services. This remoteness has helped preserve Tasä’s natural state, attracting visitors who wish to experience its untouched beauty.

Visitors to Tasä often engage in activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and photography. The island’s lack of infrastructure means that camping is the primary accommodation option, with no facilities such as restaurants or lodging. Due to its secluded nature, Tasä remains a hidden gem for those exploring the Baltic Sea’s archipelagos.
