tähelkü

Tähelkü is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Estonia. Administratively, it belongs to the municipality of Viimsi Parish in Harju County. The island is part of the Naissaar Nature and Recreation Area, a protected zone known for its natural beauty and historical significance.

Geologically, Tähelkü is characterized by its low-lying terrain and rocky shores. The vegetation is sparse, primarily consisting of coastal grasses and low shrubs adapted to the harsh maritime environment. The island’s ecosystem supports a variety of seabirds, which utilize it as a nesting and resting ground. Due to its protected status, human activity on Tähelkü is restricted to ensure the preservation of its natural habitat.

Historically, the island, like many in the region, may have served various purposes over centuries, potentially including navigation markers or temporary shelters for fishermen. However, detailed historical records specifically for Tähelkü are limited, emphasizing its remote and undeveloped nature. The focus on Tähelkü today remains on its ecological value and its role within the broader conservation efforts of the Estonian archipelago.
