Soomaa means "marshland" in Estonian. Waters are extraordinary here. On the guided day-trip you will explore marshes by walking on the nature trail and canoeing on the river.

Itinerary

Day 1

Your guide meets you at the vistitor centre of Soomaa National Park. First you will be introduced about values of Soomaa by watching a video-film. After that continue to remote Karuskose farm, in the middle of the national park. Very characteristic and special to this area of regular floods, is the building and use of traditional log-boats (haabjas). During the “fifth season" of Soomaa - season of high waters," the haabjas have been the only mode of transportation. We will look how such boats are made and go for a short bog-walking to Kuresoo bog.
A wilderness lunch. After lunch we will have a canoeing on the Raudna river.
In the afternoon on to your next destination.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
