Nature holiday

North-Estonia features a variety of natural wonders. It has a stunning coastline with alternating limestone cliffs high above the sea and low-lying sandy beaches bordered by pine forests, small fishing villages on headlands and sheltered ports on coves. There are well-lighted pine forests and dark gloomy woods where one can wander for days. Undiscovered secrets are hidden in vast bog areas. Limestone subsoil ensures the diversity of flora. Nice panoramic views can be enjoyed on Pandivere Upland and Ontika Cliff. Many scenic waterfalls fall down from the limestone clint. Karst caves, underground rivers and sinkholes as well as clear-water lakes and blue springs form a part of the region’s natural beauty. Large numbers of migrating birds travel across the coastal headlands and colonies of seabirds occupy the islets. Howling of wolves in autumn and whooping of owls in spring – you will find all this and more in North-Estonia.
