An introduction to Lahemaa National Park, the land of bays and forests

It only takes an hour to drive from Tallinn to Lahemaa. The tour takes you to the oldest national park in Estonia, the most popular destination for day trippers staying in Tallinn. Lahemaa means “the land of bays” and as the name says it’s valued because of the natural beauty of its coastal landscape. The park itself covers a huge area of protected primeval forest, small rivers and a number of hiking trails. Whilst it definitely isn’t a zoo, it is famous for its rich wildlife. On our way to Lahemaa we also drop by Jägala waterfall.

Learn about Estonian life in rural areas

Our first stop will give you a glimpse into the life of German landowners who resided in the Estonian countryside for centuries. You’ll also learn about life in rural Estonia, both historically and in modern times. Depending of the season you will visit Sagadi or Palmse Manor. Both manors also offer unique exhibitions, including museums that reflect the surrounding nature and history (for extra charge, not included in the regular tour).

Explore Estonian coastal areas visiting an old fishing village and the seaside

Our coastal stop lets you experience the charm of an old Estonian fishing village. Depending on the season you will visit Altja or Käsmu village. In both of them you’ll encounter the traditional architecture and way of life that these villages represent. A walk to the seaside offers beautiful views, varying 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.

Go for a walk in the bog

On our way back to Tallinn, we take a walk in Viru bog. A bog is a wetland landscape with a thick peat layer. There are limited types of vegetation adapted to this environment, bog pools and hollows. Besides the refreshing and safe walk you will also hear stories about Estonian beliefs and folklore related to the bogs.

Enjoy a comfortable transfer to Leppneeme harbour

Prangli Island is the only northern Estonian island that has been continuously inhabited for more than 600 years. It still has a very strong fishing tradition, its own dialect of the Estonian language, diverse nature and friendly locals. The transfer takes you to the Viimsi peninsula and Leppneeme harbour, from where we will take a ferry to the island (1 hour).

Settle in to your accommodation

On the island, you will have a transfer to the accommodation where you can relax after the long day, heat the sauna up, and enjoy the stillness. Dinner can be pre-ordered from the catering menu and delivered to the house. Or you can cook for yourself with the things you have taken with you.

Discover Prangli Island on an open-top truck or jeep

On the next day after the breakfast, we will take you to a tour around the island in an open-top soviet-type truck or jeep. It’s surely the most fun way to discover all the important sites that this small island (6.44 km²) has to offer. The most common themes that come up during the guided tour are the historical background of the coastal-folk and the islanders, and the stories and legends explaining the various sites and their lifestyle. The sightseeing tour takes about 2.5 hours and covers a small open-air museum, church, nature reserve and a natural gas grill etc. Strange, but true, the weather is usually much better on the island than it is on the mainland.

Admire islands natural beauty

After the tour you will have a few hours to explore the island on your own and have lunch. Prangli is untouched by mass tourism, and has wonderful sandy beaches and pine forests that create enough fresh air to overwhelm the senses. In the villages the atmosphere is authentic which feels like being in an open-air museum.

during winter, make snow angels, find wild animals tracks, and walk on a frozen river or sea-ice;
