Rooslepa

Rooslepa, also sometimes romanized as Ruuslepa, is a village located on the island of Vormsi, Estonia. It is part of Lääne-Nigula Parish in Lääne County. Rooslepa is situated on the western coast of the island and is notable for its historical significance within the context of Vormsi's Swedish-Estonian cultural heritage.

Historically, Rooslepa was populated primarily by Estonian Swedes, whose presence on Vormsi dates back centuries. The village, like others on the island, experienced significant population shifts during and after World War II, particularly with the emigration of much of the Swedish-speaking population.

Today, Rooslepa is a quiet village with a small population. It is an increasingly popular destination for tourists seeking to experience the natural beauty and cultural history of Vormsi. The area offers opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the island's unique landscape. Rooslepa's coastline provides views of the Baltic Sea and the nearby islands. While the village itself may not have extensive modern infrastructure, its historical charm and natural setting make it a notable location within the context of Vormsi.
