The diversity and protected species of the communities, the landscape and the biota of the Keava, Loosalu and Palasi bogs, Keava-Esku and Paluküla-Sillaotsa marginal formations and their surrounding areas are protected in the Kõnnumaa Landscape Reserve. The reserve is divided into four conservation zones with a stricter protection procedure (Keava, Palasi, Loosalu and Suursaare) where people interfere less with the development of nature because economic activity is prohibited.

In the Kõnnumaa Landscape Protection Area, the Paluküla Hiiemägi Hill, the ancient hillfort of the Keava fort and the ancient settlement areas of Linnaaluste that are protected heritage sites have a higher cultural value. 

The nature of Kõnnumaa Landscape Protection Area has been formed by the activity of the last Ice Age. The area was eroded flatter and lower with the advancement of the glacial. About 11,000–12,000 years ago, the edge of the continental ice took a longer time to melt here, which is why the characteristic marginal formations of the continental ice were able to form: eskers, kames and terminal moraines.

In order to reach the island, you must drive to Rohuküla Harbour.
