Hävinema is known for its rural landscape and is surrounded by forests and agricultural fields. The village has a population of around 50 residents, and it is primarily inhabited by elderly individuals due to the lack of employment opportunities in the area.

The village has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Iron Age. The name "Hävinema" is believed to originate from the Estonian word "hävinema," which means "to disappear" or "to vanish." This name may refer to the village's remote location or its gradual decline over time.

The church, built in the 19th century, is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a glimpse into the village's religious heritage.
