Half Day Hiking Tour in Beautiful Estonian Nature

We drive up to an hour from Tallinn's city center. We end up in Estonian nature, where you probably won't meet any other tourists. Because the site I'll take you to is away from the typical travel agency routes and you can't get there by public transport. At the same time, you shouldn't worry because all the trails are in good condition and as scenic as they get. The hiking part takes up to 3 hours. Estonia is a pretty flat country, but in this area, you'll see some fast-changing landscapes, beautiful lakes, bogs, and forests, which will give you a good quick overview of what Estonian nature is like. After the hike, we drive back to Tallinn, where I can drop you off at any location you prefer. So in 5 hours, you can claim that you have been to Estonia and experienced what its nature has to offer in full. This tour is open to the elements, so dress properly. There is no bad weather only wrong clothing. As the weather in Estonia is quite unpredictable, be prepared for anything.
