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.

It's the last day of year 2014 and we decided to visit the 2nd dashpoint of
December on Saaremaa island just before sunset. The weather was around 0
degrees Celsius and roads were very slippery. At 1.1km before the dashpoint we
had to stop because of "private road" sign, from where we walked onward. We
passed by a shelter with video surveillance and there were some bulls outside
on the pasture. The point was on a snow-covered coastal meadow between
junipers.

As we passed by the point on our way from Vienna to St. Pölten anyway, I decided to drive up there and see what it's like. As we found out, it had fallen on a hill next to a small village with very complex local name. It was possible to drive to appr. 100m from the point... well, actually there was a road of tractor going uphill from there, quite exactly to the point, but it went through a ditch and was kind of shaky in general, so we decided to better not take it. There were some big felled logs laying around the point and nice overlook to the village downhill.

As I was on holiday in Austria and didn't get a chance to try out mountain skiing due to high temperatures, I decided to conquer the hills by doing some geodashing instead, together with my wonderful companion who happens to live around there. So first we tried our luck in south-eastern corner of the country, near the village named Fünfhöf, which definitely turned out to be a pleasant experience. It was possible to drive to 105m from the point, where the road ended by a unique privately owned "railway station" next to a farm-house. From there I climbed up along the meadow on the hill-side and made it to zero. There was a wonderful view from the point to the surrounding mountains and villages between them.

It was a sunny day in the end of winter. It was possible to drive to 150m from the point, from where I took a walk. The point was on a clear cut area of forest. After reaching to zero, I walked to the northern coast of island Muhu through the junipers. It was kind of nice, but the problem was that the junipers were annoyingly wet, which is common during this season. On the coast it was very beautiful, however. Mainland and some neighboring islands were visible over sea and there was a big cargo ship on the strait.

It was possible to drive to 800m from the point, after what the road conditions became really bad. And when I tried to turn around, I got stuck and couldn't get out otherwise than walking to the nearby village and finding someone, who had a tractor and agreed to come and pull me out. As it was dark then already, I decided to go back home after that and not to try to reach to the point this night. On the following day I went there again. This time I stopped little bit before the road became too soft and walked onward to the point along the coastline. There were some junipers and reed and coastal meadows on the way. The point was on the coast, about 20m from sea. Afterwards I took a longer walk by the sea. It was very windy and quite cold and I was happy when I finally reached back to the car - in the dark once again.
