Piret's Rock

Piret's Rock / Beskrivning

Piret's rock is on the Kuressaare - Laimjala road at the 35 kilometer mark, next to the road. According to tradition Piret, the wife of Saaremaa's legendary hero Suur Tõll, was carrying stones in her apron to Audla were the happy couple was building a sauna. Piret's apron strings broke and the big boulder fell on her toes. More out of frustration than pain, Piret started crying. Her tears formed the bog that surrounds her boulder, and to this day the bog is known as Naistesoo, or Women's Bog.
