This resort town was a favourite summer spot of the Russian tsars. The Russian Tsar himself was in favour of the idea of building the station and supported its construction. The first passenger train arrived in Haapsalu in 1904 and the last one left in 1995. Now at this railway station you can only hear the sound of the locomotive in the recording. You also have a unique opportunity to cycle from Haapsalu to Riisipere (50 km), since the old railway track has been turned into a health trail.
