Saaremaa kuulsamad tuulikud asuvad Anglas. Siin on ainsana Saaremaal oma ilme säilitanud tuulikumägi - tuultele avatud kõrgem koht, kuhu ehitati kogu küla veskid. 1925. aastal, kui Anglas oli 13 talu, seisis siin koguni 9 tuulepüüdjat. Ent ka tänaseni püsinud viis jätavad mõjuva mulje. Angla viiest veskist neli on tüüpilised Saaremaa pukktuulikud, ehitatud käesoleva sajandi alguses. Nende keskel seisab veidi kõrgem 1927. aastal püstitatud hollandi veski. Selle kere pole kivist nagu "hollandlased" tavaliselt, vaid see on kaheksatahuline puuehitis.
Olenevalt aastaajast võivad kohapeal olla suured inimeste massid.
Angla turismikeskuse perenaine Anu on aardest teadlik. Kui tasulisse alasse minna, võib perenaisele alati öelda, et geopeiturid tervitavad. Ta oleks selle üle väga rõõmus.
________________________________________________
The only remaining group of windmills on Saaremaa is located in Angla. It is the only one remaining windmill hill on Saaremaa. In 1925, when the village of Angla consisted of 13 farms, there were nine windcatchers on the hill.
At one time, these open to the winds hills of windmills were a common sight on Saaremaa. When the people were more agrarian, grew their own wheat and rye, and made their own bread, every self-respecting village had a group of windmills to grind the grain.
Of the five windmills at Angla, four are typical Saaremaa type of wooden windmill. These windmills could be turned towards whatever wind was blowing at the time. The largest one on the hill is a Holland-type of windmill, except that typically Holland-type windmills were built of stone. This one is an eight-sided wooden construction.
Depending on the time of year, the big crowds are possible on the spot.
Anu, the hostess of the Heritage Culture Centre of Angla Windmill Park, knows about the cache. You can always say Hi! to her, she would be very happy about it.
