Very interesting view of Estonian culture

If You want to know, how islanders lived hundred years ago, that's the place.

Nice to walk around but nothing too mind blowing and also it was not allowed to go in some rooms, you could only see in from the door.

Whether pasting through Muhu on the way to Saaremaa or staying on Muhu itself, the village and surrounding area of Koguva is a must-see. Super location, great old buildings, a lone windmill, hiking to the shore, etc., it's all wonderful there.

Redipuglia World War I Memorial

Redipuglia is the largest Italian Military Sacrarium. It rises up on the western front of the Monte Sei Busi, which, in the First World War was bitterly fought after because, although it was not very high, from its summit it allowed an ample range of access from the West to the first steps of the Karstic table area.

The monumental staircase on which the remains of one hundred thousand fallen soldiers are lined up and which has at its base the monolith of the Duke of Aosta, who was the commanding officer of the third Brigade, and gives an image of a military grouping in the field of a Great Unity with its Commanding Officer at the front. The mortal remains of 100,187 fallen soldiers lie here, 39,857 of them identified and 60,330 unknown.
