About Kihnu
Kihnu is located south east fromSaaremaaIsland and west from the mainland. For many years, the men of Kihnu have frequently gone to sea while the women ran the island and became the guardians of the island's cultural heritage, which includes handicrafts, dances, games and music. Unlike men, they also wear their national costumes in everyday life. So it's quite normal to see an old woman dressed in traditional clothing driving a motorbike or even a tractor. UNESCOproclaimed Kihnu's cultural space and traditions as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on November 7, 2003. Because of the surrounding sea, the climate on the island is gentle and warmer than the Estonian average.
