Wetland Tour and Overnight Stay on a Bog Island
About
A 45-minute drive from Tartu brings you to Peipsiveere Nature Reserve, one of Estonia's wildest and least populated areas. This vast and unspoiled wetland, a Ramsar site, shelters numerous endangered species and is teeming with signs of wildlife activity. It's home to iconic Estonian animals like wolves, bears, and lynxes, along with elusive birds, notably eagles. The reserve is exceptionally tranquil, free from artificial noises in this remote region. On our hike, we'll spend the night on a secluded bog island, immersed in pristine nature amidst expansive bog landscapes. Dinner will be prepared using seasonal forest ingredients on a camping stove, and we'll sleep in tree tents. In the morning, we'll enjoy breakfast and hike back to the starting point, all under the guidance of an experienced local nature guide.
