Open-air Museum
Koguva, on the western tip of Muhu, 6km off the road, is an exceptionally well-preserved, old-fashioned island village, now protected as an open-air museum. One ticket allows you to wander through a number of interesting houses: an old schoolhouse, a museum containing beautiful traditional textiles from the area, including the painstakingly detailed folk costumes once worn by the locals in the area. You can also peer into author Juhan Smuul's ancestral home.
Also on the grounds of the village is the handsome modern art gallery and café Koguva Kunstitallis.

Ostrich Farm
The turn-off to the Ostrich Farm is 200m east of the windmill. The quirky owners will give you an earful about these strange creatures and even let you feed them (mind your fingers). A small shop sells feathers, eggs, purses and shoes made from a certain leather.

Muhu Stronghold
Southwest of the Liiva Church is the Muhu stronghold, which is where the islanders surrendered to the Knights of the Sword in 1227, marking the end of Estonian resistance.
