ADVERTORIAL Stressbusting Estonia H
alf-covered in forest and boasting 2,222 islands and
five national parks, Estonia can boast some of the cleanest air not only in Europe, but the world. And with pure tap water,
natural and unprocessed food and a sauna never far away, it is a perfect destination for clients hoping to chill out and feel their stress slip away. Here, Visit Estonia suggests
five tranquil activities for your customers to enjoy.
◆ CANOEING While canoeing or boating along Estonia’s rivers, you can peek into the surrounding forests, sandstone canyons and secret bogs. Those who enjoy being
around water will enjoy what’s known as ‘the fifth season’, a time in early spring when the river basins overflow, flooding the meadows and forests of the Soomaa National Park to create
an almost otherworldly canoeing experience.
◆ FORAGING There’s a certain time of the year when the forests come alive with those looking to collect its fruits. From July to October,
mushrooms and berries are available in abundance, and the locals are always among the first to go and investigate. With comfortable clothes, a basket and a small knife, visitors can experience the real pleasure of finding and picking their own wild foods.
◆ CAMPING In a country with such an abundance of natural beauty it’s no surprise that camping is the favourite pursuit of many in Estonia. Many see camping as a chance
to get the tents up and be at one with the wilderness, while others
like to be out in the natural environment with a few luxuries from home.
◆ BOG WALKING Some say this is Estonia’s ace card! There are many bog trails across Estonia with specially erected boardwalks just above the marshland. Passing through enchanting forests, the boardwalks take in a stunning vista of bogs and sparsely covered meadows, often covered with a light magical mist. These trails have different ‘personalities’; some come across museums and secluded villages, while others are close to campsites. A unique way to hike
through Estonia’s bogs is using snowshoes, and no experience is necessary. Anyone who is capable of hiking is capable of snowshoe hiking through these fascinating landscapes.
◆ SMOKE SAUNA The smoke sauna tradition is an important part of everyday life. It comprises a rich set of traditions including bathing customs, the skills of making bath whisks, building and repairing saunas and smoking meat in the sauna. The sauna is a building or room
heated by a stove covered with stones and with an elevated platform for sitting or lying. It has no chimney, and the smoke from burning wood circulates in the room.
