Palju kipume tänapäeval rääkima puutumatust metsast. Aga kui vaatama läheme, selgub pahatihti, et see puutumatu mets sisaldab kiviaedu, vanu taluasemeid ja veel mida iganes, mis kõik räägib kunagisest inimtegevusest. Terve Lääne-Saaremaa on selline, ja terve hulk muid kohti veel. Koos inimtegevusega kadus ka terve hulk sõnu - kes teab, mis see tanum täpselt ongi?
Igatahes see karp kutsub vaatama kunagist Läägi külatanumat. Tanum ise on siit veel jupp maad edasi, aga seal on eramaad. Aga kui leiad kiviaia ja sellel kasvava võimsa männi, oled lähedal.
We often consider our forest untouched. However, looking closer, one can often notice old stone fences, basements etc, all telling stories of human activities onve happening here in these "untouched" forests. The whole of western Saaremaa is like this, and many other places as well. And together with human activities we have lost a whole list of words that denote those activities. Who remembers what the Estonian word tanum means? :)
Anyhow, this box invites you to have a glimpse of the former Läägi village. The tanum - commons, village green etc - is a little further, but thise lands are in private property these days. Instead try to find a stone fence and a big pine tree on it.
