Welcome to Prangli island!
(german Wrangelsholm, swedish Wrangö)
 |
Situated 9km. north-easterly from Viimsi peninsula it is 6,44 km². Its extensive shores are low and stony on the west side and sandy on the east side. The highest point on the island is Kullamägi (“Golden hill” where in the old days pirates had dug up their gold) which is 10m above sea level. Prangli is 6km long and 2,5km wide. The pine forest and small bushes are the main vegetation on the island.

The forest brings a good protection from the blowing winds. There are a lot of glacial boulders on the island too (The red stone, Eagle stone etc.). Prangli form together with Aksi and Keri a chain in the Gulf of Finland. Like many of the island in the Baltic sea and Gulf of Finland Prangli island was once inhabited by Estonian-Swedes (estonians call them “shore swedes”) 100 inhabitants live nowdays in 3 villages on the island permanently.

During the summer time there are more people because some have their summer houses on the island. We have shop where you can have food, a place to eat called “Black hatch” (“Must luuk” in estonian) first aid medical service, post office, small hall for cultural events and elementary school. |
