About Estonia
Estonia is a mostly a flat, forested country with over 1400 lakes, a beautifull coastline with numerous bays and inlets, 1500 islands and islets, and a rather empty countryside with many deer, elk, wild boar, bears and wolves. With its rich historical medieval heritage and natural Nordic attraction, Estonia is refreshing experience for many travellers who value its still unspoilt nature.
Talinn is the capital of Estonia, an ancient Hanseatic city with many historical sites like the medieval Town Hall going back to the 14th – 15th century.
