Meiuste: Upsu Bay, fishing trips and hiking trail

Meiuste offers several ways to plan your stay: at the RMK Meiuste campsite, Upsu Bay, a coniferous forest and views across the sea to Hiiumaa come together. In Meiuste küla, Sadama talu organises fishing trips and boat excursions to Hiiumaa. A stage of the long-distance hiking trail also passes through the campsite. This means your trip can range from coastal scenery and experiences on the water to a longer hike.

The shore of Upsu Bay and views of Hiiumaa

The RMK Meiuste campsite is located on the shore of Upsu Bay, in a beautiful coniferous forest. From there, you can look across the sea to Hiiumaa. This view across the water offers one way to experience the island; a boat trip there is another way to include Hiiumaa in your stay. If you are interested in coastal scenery, the campsite is a specific point of reference in Meiuste. Here, the waterside location and forest come together with views of the sea.

Fishing and boat trips from Meiuste

Sadama talu offers fishing trips by motorboat or boat. Guests can head out to the open sea to haul in nets, or check fish traps in coastal waters. These are different experiences on the water: one takes you out to the open sea, while the other is about the catch in coastal waters. Sadama talu says it knows the best fishing spots along Saaremaa’s coast in the Väinameri region. Fishing trips are seasonal and require a reservation; bear both in mind when planning.

Sadama talu also organises boat trips to Hiiumaa. The round trip to Hiiumaa is said to take about 1.5 hours. This makes the trip a separate option alongside the fishing excursions. If you would like to include it in your plans, book in advance and keep the approximate duration in mind when planning your day.

Hiking trail: a 27-kilometre section

The 27 km Tuhkana–Soela–Leisi–Angla–Mätja section of Saaremaa’s long-distance hiking trail runs along the Metsküla–Meiuste road. Between Soela and Leisi, the route passes through the RMK Meiuste campsite. From there, it moves away from the coast and continues to a main road.

This route is useful for finding your way along the Meiuste section: the campsite is on the route between Soela and Leisi, after which the trail leads away from the sea. The 27 kilometres indicate the length of the section and give you a clear basis for planning your hike. Check the current condition of the trail before setting out.
