RMK hiking route Heltermaa-Ristna-Sarve/Tihu-Sarve (56 km)
Hiiumaa, Hiiumaa Recreation Area
The trail from Kassari island to Hiiumaa goes through low sea water, where the water level can be above the ankle even in fine weather. Please take this into consideration when planning your hike.
In stormy weather or when it is dark or the water level is high, it is advisable to use the road to return to Hiiumaa.

The final part of the Hiiumaa branch of RMK Hiking Route starts at Tihu forest hut and takes the hikers back towards Heltermaa – to Sarve campsite, located just 3 km from the port. Hikers may also want to head for Sõru harbour, where they can take the ferry to Saaremaa island.
On this section of the trail, distances between rest stops are very long and therefore hikers need to prepare for the journey more carefully.
This section also includes a sea crossing between the eastern coast of Kassari island and Hiiumaa, where the water level is low most of the time but you should still be prepared to get your feet wet.
