The village name was first mentioned in 1453 in connection with the Käsmu beach belonging to the Aaspere manor. From the first mention of the name, it is unclear whether the village existed at that time or not. However, a court protocol from 1524 confirms the existence of the village.

There are plenty of legends and stories associated with Käsmu. And of course, everything revolves around the sea, captains, fishermen, boats, and so on.

In Estonia, springs have always been considered important sacred places, most of them believed to have healing properties, and silver coins were thrown into the spring as offerings. Aegviidu Siniallikad is known as an ancient sacrificial spring and got its name due to its distinctive blue hue, which is caused by the blue clay settled in the area.

Aegviidu Siniallikad is a group of rising water springs located in the Kõrvemaa Landscape Protection Area. The blue springs bring water to the surface in a basin between the ridges, where the spring lake is located. The blue springs are situated at the edge of the Kauksi-Aegviidu-Penijõe hiking trail, and the best time to visit the springs is during high water.

Porkuni Lake is located in a picturesque primeval valley and is an ideal spot for those who wish to feel peace, notice the details of nature, and let the surrounding tranquility carry them away.

The lake’s depth reaches 2.8 meters and is unique due to natural processes – occasionally, the water almost completely disappears from the lake. This spectacle makes Porkuni Lake one of the most unique lakes in Estonia. In the middle of the lake lies Lossisaar, where a fortress once stood.

If you wish, you can also try exploring with the glass kayak at night – then the surroundings reflect on the lake’s surface with magical restraint, and the underwater world transforms entirely with the help of light beams.
