What to bring
Experience the stunning natural beauty of Lahemaa National Park on this exciting, full-day tour.
An introduction to Lahemaa National Park, the land of bays and forests.
It only takes an hour to drive from Tallinn to Lahemaa, Estonia’s oldest national park and the most popular day-trip destination for visitors to the capital. The name “Lahemaa” means “the land of bays,” and as it suggests, the park is cherished for the natural beauty of its coastal landscape. The park itself covers a vast area of protected primeval forest, small rivers, and numerous hiking trails. While it is not a zoo, it is famous for its rich wildlife. On our way to Lahemaa, we will also make a stop at the Jägala Waterfall.
Learn about Estonian life in rural areas.
Our first stop will offer a glimpse into the life of the German landowners who resided in the Estonian countryside for centuries. You will also learn about life in rural Estonia, both historically and in modern times. Depending on the season, you will visit either Sagadi or Palmse Manor. Both manors also feature unique exhibitions, including museums that reflect the surrounding nature and history (available for an extra charge, not included in the regular tour).
Experience the charm of an old Estonian fishing village.
Our coastal stop allows you to experience the charm of a traditional Estonian fishing village. Depending on the season, you will visit either Altja or Käsmu village. In both, you will encounter the traditional architecture and way of life that these villages represent. A walk to the seaside offers beautiful views that vary with each season—from sandy beaches perfect for summer swims to dramatic stormy seas in autumn and the opportunity to walk on frozen waters in winter. During the warmer months, both the Altja Tavern and local Käsmu cafés offer a taste of traditional Estonian cuisine.
Head to a tavern for some tasty Estonian farm food (not included in the price; card payment is available).
Go for a walk in the bog.
On our way back to Tallinn, we will take a walk in the Viru Bog. A bog is a wetland landscape with a thick peat layer, featuring limited types of adapted vegetation, bog pools, and hollows. In addition to the refreshing and safe walk, you will hear stories about Estonian beliefs and folklore related to the bogs.
