General presentation
Parc national de Lahemaa
Rocky capes, peatlands, forests, captain villages and manor houses make up the great natural escape of Tallinn.
The discovery of Lahemaa National Park is based around Viru Tourbière, Palmse Manor and Käsmu. The stay thus alternates between the coast, forests, 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.
Place indismissible
Tourbière de Viru
The Viru peat bog is crossed on a narrow bridge between twisted pines, thick mosses and dark pools. Since the observation tower, the reliefs seem to disappear in a brown and green carpet; in the morning or in misty weather, the puddles reflect the sky with almost immobile precision.
Place indismissible
Manoir de Palmse
Palmse gives a view of a Baltic estate throughout its organization: clear seigneurial house, gardens, ponds, barns and old outbuildings. In the heart of Lahemaa, the whole tells the lives of the owners as well as the workers who operated the estate.
Place indismissible
Käsmu
Käsmu The coastal paths gradually reveal the polished rocks, the boats and the views of the bay, especially when the wind clears the horizon.
Place indismissible
Altja
Altja The village has a very concrete presence: dark wood, pebble, salty herbs and traces of the fishermen's work replace the decorating effects. The village has a very concrete presence: dark wood, pebble, salty herbs and traces of the fishermen's work.
