Not nearly as exciting or perhaps ‘explosive’ as Naissaar Island, the smaller Aegna is still certainly worth checking out for its nature, rich history and relative seclusion. Main attractions are the many hiking trails, an old cemetery and some military installations. More info from www.aegna.ee (in Estonian only) and www.visitestonia.com.
