Lahemaa National Park

Estonia’s largest national park is an interesting mix of coastal bluffs, dense forest, 18th-century manor houses, and numerous lakes, rivers and waterfalls, located in northern Estonia. You’d think you were in a Jane Austen novel but for the bears and lynxes.

Waterfalls cascade down some of the cliffs along the northern edge of the North Estonian limestone plateau, the Glint. The Koljaku-Oandu Reserve is an area of wet sea forest in the north-eastern part of the park, while the Laukasoo Reserve, in the park’s centre, is home to the 7000-year-old bog.
