General presentation
Alutaguse
Deep forests, glacial lakes, peatlands and orthodox heritage in the inner northeast.
The discovery of Alutaguse is based around the National Park of Alutaguse, Kurtna Lakes and Kuremäe Convent. The stay thus alternates between forests, shores and lakes, wetlands and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national d’Alutaguse
Alutaguse The park attracts patient travellers, sensitive to animal traces, long forest trails and almost silent landscapes near the Russian border. The park is located in the heart of the country, and is home to a number of other tourist attractions.
Lake
Lacs de Kurtna
The Kurtna lakes appear one by one between the pine trees, often small, clear and very close to each other. The landscape also keeps the marks of mining, which gives this forest d ́eau and sand a less peaceful history than it looks.
Place indismissible
Couvent de Kuremäe
The convent of Kuremäe, still active, crowns a wooded hill with its Orthodox churches, white walls and sources frequented by pilgrims. The visit requires attention to the rhythm of the place: offices, sober outfits, maintained gardens and silence around religious buildings.
