Lahemaa National Park
A vast protected area in Estonia known for its forests, bogs, coastlines, and rich wildlife, it's also one of Europe's oldest national parks.
Tips from the community
A quick scoot along the E20 highway from Tallinn and you can be wandering the piney woods and swamps of the Lahemaa National Park. Loads of the capital’s dwellers do that when the Baltic sun gets balmy between May and August, mainly for the long stretches of pebbly beachfront and open-swimming bogs–yep, you can swim in the occasional bog here! Look out for the charming Altja fishing huts and the handsome 1500s mansion at Palmse.
