Altja
fishing village
Altja is a typical coastal village where houses are situated along a single village street. Located in Lahemaa National Park, the Altja fishing village is first mentioned in written sources in 1465. Today, in Altja, you can see the Uustalu and Toomarahva typical coastal farms from the late 19th century and early 20th century. On the Altja peninsula, you can see restored net sheds. The village also has a swing site and the Altja tavern, which offers traditional Estonian dishes. Interesting fact: In the water near the net sheds is the Great Stone. Coastal people say that while storks brought children to the inland residents, Altja village children were brought from behind this stone in the water. Therefore, the stone is also called the Baby Stone
