ravitsevan

Ravitsevan is a village located in the Lääneranna Parish, Pärnu County, in southwestern Estonia. It is situated in the historical region of Läänemaa. The village lies near the coast of the Baltic Sea, specifically on the shores of the Ravitsevan Bay. The surrounding landscape is characterized by coastal meadows and sparse forests typical of the Estonian coast.

Historically, the area has been inhabited for centuries, with fishing and agriculture forming the traditional livelihoods of its residents. Like many small coastal communities in Estonia, Ravitsevan has experienced population changes over time, with a general trend of rural depopulation in many parts of the country. However, the village retains its connection to the natural environment and its historical roots.

Ravitsevan is a relatively small settlement with a modest population. Its infrastructure is limited, reflecting its rural character. The proximity to the sea influences the local ecosystem and the way of life for the inhabitants. The Ravitsevan Bay itself is a notable geographical feature, providing a sheltered area along the coastline. The village is part of a larger administrative unit, Lääneranna Parish, which offers essential services and governance to the local communities. Access to Ravitsevan is typically via local roads connecting it to larger settlements and the national road network.
