Tihu Nature Reserve
Tihu Nature Reserve is a nature reserve situated on Hiiumaa in western Estonia, in Hiiu County.
The nature reserve encompasses two lakes, Tihu and Vanajõe, Õngu mire, and an area of old-growth forest. The lakes form an important habitat for sea trout; the fish spawn in fresh water. The area is also a habitat for several unusual or threatened plants and insects, such as bog orchid, coralroot orchid, large white-faced darter and lilypad whiteface. The nature reserve is also an important habitat for the endangered European mink.[1]
