The coastal fishing village of Altja was first documented in 1465 when it was called Rootsipea. Now part of the Lahemaa National park, much of it has been beautifully restored and represents a traditional Estonia coastal village, with roads running parallel to the coastline and several small farms surrounding the area. Today there are only around twenty inhabitants, most of whom depend either on fishing, agriculture or the tourist trade. The centre of the village’s activity is the fully restored tavern, which serves fine traditional dishes to visitors.
