1. Haapsalu, Nõva, the northern part of Matsalu National Park- NW Estonia.
Essential for watching the migration of arctic waterfowl, great for many fo1rest birds. Recommended stay- 2 (3) days
The oldest national park in Estonia. It is a good area to spot forest birds like owls and woodpeckers with watching coastal migration. The number of birds passing by during the migration is not that impressive as in Matsalu. But it is a good location for a compact visit, as it is located near Tallinn. 1 – 2 days
The area of Soomaa is best known for its vast peat bogs and forest areas. Great for wild grouse and woodpeckers. Also for its so-called “5th season”, which happens when the local rivers can’t hold all the rain-/snow melting water and most of the NP gets overflooded.
