... Picturesque aerial view of a typical former seaside fishing village that dates back 500 years... one of its unique features is its historic architecture, with authentic restored buildings and fishing sheds that have been carefully preserved over time... as well as the Baltic sea coast offering stunning views... a living testament to Estonia's coastal culture with its fishing traditions and the long-standing relationship between the community and the sea.... in the 20th century, Altja became a popular tourist destination as the establishment of Lahemaa National Park promote the area's cultural heritage... only accessible to walkers... today, it is a place where the past and nature meet, offering visitors unforgettable experiences... Thanks a lot Trishka!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
Lahemaa National Park is Estonia's oldest and largest national park, established in 1971. The name ‘Lahemaa’ means ‘Land of Bays’ in Estonian, referring to its rugged coastline with peninsulas and bays.
The park consists of four peninsulas, therefore a lot of coastline and more than 700 sq metres of pine forest.
The park encompasses a diverse landscape with forests, wetlands, rivers and both rocky and sandy beaches. It offers rich biodiversity and is home to various animal species, including moose, brown bears and wolves.
