Top Highlights

  • ToompeaSeven days in Estonia rather than a night of it — a medieval old town, a bog boardwalk, and an island with its own dialect.
  • St Olaf'sThe Hotel Viru's twenty-third floor did not exist on the plans.
  • Viru rabaA raised bog grows upward on its own dead material — the surface here is metres above the surrounding land and it floats.
  • KäsmuKäsmu was a village of sea captains and smugglers, and the boulders offshore were carried here by ice and dropped.
  • MuhuKuressaare castle is the best-preserved medieval fortress in the Baltics and still has its moat.
  • Kaali craterKaali is a meteorite crater from about 1500 BC — recent enough that it was witnessed, and it turns up in Baltic and Finnish oral tradition.
  • Back to Tallinn, and outFour and a half hours including the crossing, and the ferry books out on summer weekends.

Did this over 7 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves.

Estonia in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.

Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Recommended.
