Panga Pank (Inglise keeles)
the underwater rocks, while the inside of the half-circle is
calm.
During bird migrations
in the spring and fall,
this half-circular lagoon
is a favorite stopover
point for storks on their
long trip to and from
Egypt, where most of
them spend the winter.
Sometimes there are well
over a hundred storks, as
well as other waterbirds,
resting in the calm
waters of the lagoon.
Folk tradition ties Panga cliff as a place of worship and sacrifice
for the ancient Saarlanders. It is known that until well into the
19th century, local fishermen poured libations of beer and
whisky over the edge of the cliff, especially at midsummer eve,
to ensure lots of fish during the coming year. There is a fishing
spell that was chanted in Mustjala parish, and it says: "Come,
come closer codfish to me. Bite my hook my dearest gray one.
My hooks are silver, dipped in gold and slipped in lead."
