It was a cloudy winter day with temperature around 0C. The road to the dashpoint started from Kuivastu harbor. It's the famous paved road to the village named Võiküla, which would mean 'Butter Village' in English. The road was built by the last Emperor of Russia, Nicholas II, in the beginning of 20th century to access the powerful cannon battery on the coast. It's 3km from the harbor to the village and one more km from there to the west to the dashpoint. As you can imagine, this old road is not especially car-friendly, but luckily there was some snow on it, which made it little bit smoother. Beside the road there was a big transformer station, which i checked from behind the fence. There was also a 50m high tower next to it, but i decided to not climb it, because underneath it there was a booth that had a sign on the door saying that there is an alarm system inside. The point was in woods, near the edge of a meadow. After visiting it, I took a walk on coastal plains towards Võilaid (The Butter Islet).

It was a dull winter day. There was a lot of snow on the roads, so I went side ahead quite many times while driving :)  I parked about 400m from the point and walked from there along the coastline. It was quite windy out there and the waves were big and powerful (for Baltic sea). The point appeared to be in water, 35m from the shore.

It was a windy winter day with occasional snowfall. There was a lot of snow on the smaller country roads, but still it was possible to drive to 700m from the point. From there we walked along the edge of a meadow and reached easily to the destination. Afterwards we did some geocaching on the beautiful northern coastline of island Muhu.
