From 1948 to 1991, during the occupation, Saaremaa remained inaccessible to many, shrouded in mystery and isolated from the outside world. Residents required a new visa for each visit, even if family lived on the island. A bureaucratic process that only increased the isolation.

The most tightened exclusion zone on the island itself was the west coast. Absolutely no one was allowed to stay there except for the border guards. On this Päranditee, too, only the local farmers were allowed to drive or walk during their working hours (they all worked on the collective farm) and the border guards.
