General presentation
Parc national de Karula
Intimate mosaic of hills, farms, forests and small lakes in one of the country's least frequented parks.
To understand what Karula National Park is, you should look at Karula National Park, Lake Ähijärv and Rebasemõisa Belvedere. These places give us a view of a territory marked by forests, shores and lakes, the countryside and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 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 de Karula
Karula offers a very rural southern Estonia, made up of glacial hills, forests, meadows and scattered farms. The park is discovered in small touches: a lake between the trees, a grassy path, a view from a height, villages where the landscape remains inhabited.
Lake
Lac Ähijärv
Lake Ähijärv is one of the simplest accesses to Karula National Park, with information center, small beaches and trail departures. Its banks alternate open and wooded areas, making it a good starting point for capturing the soft reliefs of the park.
Viewpoint
Belvédère de Rebasemõisa
The Rebasemõisa lookout opens a clear view of the Karula hills, punctuated with lakes, meadows and forest masses. In clear weather, the landscape seems almost undulating; at sunset, the reliefs take more depth.
