Welcome to the hikers and nature lovers paradise. Only 1-hour driveway from Tallinn, the capital of Estonia you’ll find Kõrvemaa unique landscape with protected forest areas, bogs and mires, eskers and valleys, wonderful forest lakes. Totally unusual for Estnoian typical flat country phenomenon. The area provides ample opportunities for nature photographers, bird and animal watchers and those interested in picking mushrooms and berries. You can take the train from Tallinn, Narva, Rakvere or Tartu to hiking capital of Estonia, Aegviidu and explore the nature with us.

You can experience one day of hiking with snowshoes/bog shoes off the wooden track, swimming in bog lakes, cooking on a fire in the middle of nowhere, staying overnight and sleeping in hammocks in bogs, or even two-day canoe and bike trip together with traditional sauna, challenging yourself with an overnight trip in the winter and hiking over the frozen bog or going on a landscape photography tour. Or skating on the frozen lakes… And that’s not all.
