Estonia: Updates & Travel

Travel in Estonia?

This country on the Baltic Sea still has beautiful nature, and Tallinn is a nice city. For a former communist country, Estonia is very progressive. You shouldn't go there for the food, but it is wonderfully quiet and the people are friendly.
Sunbathe on one of the white beaches, or swim in one of the often deserted lakes in the forest.
If you like cross-country skiing, ice fishing or husky rides, all of that is possible in the winter in Estonia.
In one of the national parks of Estonia (Lahemaa, Soomaa and Vilsandi) you will find vast forests and marshes as well as fishing villages. You also have a chance to spot lynxes, bears and wolves in the Matsalu Nature Reserve.
Go hiking and cycling on Saaremaa (the largest island in Estonia). Here you will find the crater of a meteorite impact 3,000 years ago. JoHotspots in Estonia
