Itinerary
Jagala Waterfall
40 min
Jägala waterfall is the highest natural waterfall in Estonia which is dropping down from 8 metres high limestone cliff. Your guide will explain you how the waterfall was formed and you will have a chance to see the waterfall from higher ground or walk down by the river closer to the waterfall. It is an amazing photo opportunity with the falls and lush green forest around.
Viru Bog Trail
90 min
Viru bog trail is easy to walk as it starts along a smooth forest path and leads to a boardwalk passing the bog. You will reach the viewing platform or tower in the middle of the bog where you can oversee most of the bog with its clear bog pools. In the summer, when it's warm, you can swim in these bog pools (bring your swimming gear). Mosquito repellent could be brought along (summer season).
Palmse Manor and Open-Air Museum
60 min
Palmse Manor is one of the grandest baroque mansions in Estonia. The mansion and open-air museum made up the first fully restored manor complex in the country. The other option is to visit Sagadi Manor. Sagadi manor complex is a heritage from the Baltic-German period in Estonia and offers a chance to get to know its historic background and admire the beauty of its romantic architecture. They both are surrounded by the beautiful natural environment of Lahemaa National Park and provide an overview of Estonian manor life and architecture throughout the ages.
During the tour, only one of these manors will be visited, depending on the season or the client's preferences.
Kasmu
60 min
The earliest written records of a village in Käsmu date from 1453. It was home to a maritime school, and virtually every family had its captain or coxswain schooled there. That is why Käsmu was known as the “captains’ village”.
Today it's a popular place for summer holidays and hosting events. You can rest and relax here strolling along the beach, exploring the natural beauty of the area on its hiking trails.
The other option is to visit Altja. Altja is a charming fishing village on the coast of Lahemaa. You will have a chance to see the traditional coastal houses with reed roofs and walk on the seaside.
During the tour, only one of these villages will be visited, depending on the season or the client's preferences.

Absolutely worth it!
Great experience! The nature along the tour was absolutely beautiful and definitely worth seeing. The walk is also very easy and not demanding at all. Our guide Stassi was fantastic - warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Estonia. She could answer any question, not only about the sights, but also about Estonian history, culture, and everyday life. The route without her simply wouldn’t have been the same experience - it was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend!

An excellent tour and tour guide would thoroughly recommend
This was an absolutely exceptional trip, our guide Tõnis was brilliant. Not only did he tell us about the places we were visiting but he answered all our questions about life in Estonia history et cetera I would thoroughly recommend this to to anybody. The wetlands in particular were very beautiful.

Great tour!
Marilinn was an amazing guide! We really enjoyed our time with her. She was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information not on the park but also on life in Estonia.

Brilliant Tour and Top Tour Guide Stassi
We had a brilliant day with top guide Stassi. Pickup was seamless and we had a really interesting and varied trip. Highlight was probably the walk through the bog in brilliant weather. The history around the Manor house and fishing village was fascinating. Shame there was not a bit more time to look briefly inside the house, but that might not have been to everyone's taste. The village swing was an unexpected surprise!
Stassi was both knowlegeable and passionate about her country and the natural world, and in a way I thought she was a kind of embodiment of Estonia. Thanks so much for a great day.

Great way to see natural Estonia
My husband and I did this tour to venture outside of Tallinn and see the natural side of Estonia. Stassi did a great job of showing us the natural beauty of this lovely country. The highlight was the bog, which as a Floridian I assumed would just be a swamp, but it was so different and unique. The lunch she took us to was delicious and was such a unique experience. I highly recommend this tour and hopefully you get Stassi as your guide.

Really great tour
Wear sensible shoes! Great walk through the bog (on a boardwalk), through the forest and learning about mushroom foraging. It was so interesting and our guide was so informative. A great stop for lunch and the chance to try great Estonian food. Great to see outside Tallinn.
