 Hiiumaa, Estonia’s second-biggest Island, is a World Heritage Bio-Park. Over a thousand native plant species can be found in an area renowned for its wilderness and historical buildings, including one of the world’s oldest still-operating lighthouses. On the island can also be found the manor-house of the notorious Baron Ungern-Sternberg, who came to grief while leading anti-Bolshevik troops in Mongolia, and whose ghost is said to still haunt the manor.
