The Lahemaa National Park was created in 1971 to protect the characteristic North-Estonian landscapes and the national heritage of the area, and to preserve harmonious relations between man and nature. This was the first national park in the Soviet Union. The most attractive part of Lahemaa is, indeed, the nature - the coast of the Finnish Gulf with peninsulas, Baltic glint, alvars, mires, and peat bogs; forests (70 % from the total area), and erratic rocks. The park's fauna and flora are rich as well. There are beautiful manor houses of German landlord families dating back to the 18th century. Palmse and Sagadi manors with parks, greenhouses, stables, etc., have been furnitured and decorated in the style of 1820s. Fishermen's villages are more than 500 years old. For instance, Altja is a fishermen's village where a traditional Estonian peasant's lunch can be enjoyed at the tavern. Vősu is a quiet seaside resort and in Kasmu, facts about the Estonian seafaring history can be learned. Take a 6- or 8-hour tour to Lahemaa with me! The prices include my service, hiring a mini-bus with a driver, entrance fees, and a lunch (dinner in case of an 8-hour tour). |
