General presentation
Parc national de Soomaa
Peatlands, flood forests and slow rivers famous for the spectacular fifth season.
To understand what Soomaa National Park is, you must look at Soomaa National Park, Riisa Trail and Kuresoo Tourbière. These places give us a view of a territory marked by wetlands, forests, riverscapes 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 Soomaa
Soomaa protects a world of peatlands, slow rivers and humid forests, famous for its spring floods that turn roads and meadows into water lanes. Depending on the season, the park lives from the footbridges, canoeing or the silence of the edges.
Place indismissible
Sentier de Riisa
The Riisa Trail offers a simple approach to Soomaa peatlands, thanks to a walkway that passes from wet woods to open pools. The colors change strongly with the light: red sphagnums, low pines, black water and huge sky make up an easy-to-read landscape.
Place indismissible
Tourbière de Kuresoo
Kuresoo gives the sensation of a space without edges, where pools, mosses and pine lines gradually erase the markers. Its more marked edge reveals the peat bog as a living relief, slowly accumulated, fragile under each step off the bridge.
