Soomaa National Park

Have you ever ice skated in a forest? Well, in Soomaa you can! It's an amazing place to explore on ice. Make sure the ice is thick enough though and be ready for strong wind.

Beautiful, barren, wet, desolate - Soomaa is a land of contradictions, with a surprise around every corner. There are some wonderful tracks to hike along, and the bogs are truly otherworldly. It feels like the end of the world. Whether it's the wet season or the dry, a day at Soomaa is unforgettable, challenging and unique.

I kayaked down the river, which gave me time to contemplate the futility of my life. I really have thrown away every opportunity I've had for success and happiness.

We were here in December and you could still see snow on the ground. The road was icy and I mean ICY but it was worth it. If you like nature it’s really a beautiful park with many trails to follow.

Great experience! Very nice place wonderful people! I really like ❤ You must be there

One of the most outstanding national parks in Estonia!

We slept in Karuskose for two nights in July 2017. It was in the middle of a little paradise. The guided bog tour and our canoe beever tour we did, startet and ended in Karuskose too, next to our own little hut. We could do a bath into a natural bog pool, do a original smoke sauna together with our hosts, for free. In the river, we jumped in for cooling down after sauna, splashed a beever away, right next to us. Our hosts was very kind and gave us some fine insider tips. I guess we come back again when we have kids.

Soomaa has a lot to offer, either walking in bogs or canoeing on flooded river meadows during the so-called Fifth Season. Perfect place to take in the solitude.

Nature in its purest form.

Stunning nature and very good maintained hiking trails. Really worth a visit. When you are there also pay attention to all the different insects very interesting. We also saw many small lizards.

This place is bog heaven! It has numerous gigantic bogs. It has a number of campsites and some nice hiking trails. It's pretty easy to get to from Pärnu as a day trip. There was no entrance fee and the girls at the visitors center some great English and said it was get favorite Estonian Nation@/ Park!

Clean, forest full of huge mushrooms "don't collect them its reservation keep them growing!", beautiful lakes and allowed to swim but be careful, very cold water :) respect this Area and don't step from road, keep it clean !

Great hiking trails, wheelchair accessible, and even free camp sites to spend a night. There are toilets (can be a bit smelly) but no showers. At some places you can go swimming and other places you can make a fire and cook some food. Good for canoeing as well.

Excellent place to escape from the urban environment. Good walks, recently refurbished walkways in Riisa and all basic amenities. Turn off the road and allow time to stop.

Beautiful place for walk, but be careful on sun no shadows :)

Very peaceful, beautiful and picturesque place, recommend to visit.

Absolutely stunning National park. Best place to experience Estonian bogs. Best time to go is in summer so you can actually walk around. Spring and winter it’s usually flooded.

Nice place to rest and expierence nature!

The park is big and good for a nice, 4-5 km walk. There is a shorter, special track for disabled people. I barely saw any trash.

Beautiful, untouched nature in the heart of Estonia. We had a nice walk.

An amazing place...you have to go there and see it...

Worth to go there. A nice 4.5km walk in nature.
