    A nice bog, but seemed a bit like a dry compared to some Latvian bogs. But a lot more bio diversity. Saw a lot of mini lizards 🦎. There were not enough directions where to go, but the first or maybe the only one bog pool was very nice to swim in!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Soomaa National Park is the biggest and most famous in Estonia. You can visit the park free of charge, there are many hiking trails with different distances and they all go through different landscapes, wetlands, bogs, rivers. There are also guided tours available and depending on a season you can have bogshoing, kicksledging, canoeing or even beaver watching.

    A absolutely beautiful place. It is astonishing how many effort is put into that national park. Perfect spots for camping are available. Please respect this place and put your waste where it belongs. Fortunately nearly all visitors understand that.

    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.

    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!

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

    Beautiful national park. We went on the self-guided tour riding the canoe along the Parnu river and walked in the bog trail. The river view was peaceful and mesmerizing. Many ducks swam past us and there were some cows with interesting fur (don't know what the cow is called). The canoe length is rather long (7km on the first route, 5km on the 2nd) but it's very pleasant and well worth it. The bog is also really beautiful. The water is cool and the landscape is lush green.

    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.

    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.
