When the youngest in the family is eager for an adventure park, the middle child wants to explore nature, the eldest craves relaxation at a spa, and the parents are interested in museums, the solution is simple: head to Lääne-Virumaa! Located just an hour’s drive from Tallinn, Lääne-Virumaa offers it all—breathtaking nature, soothing spas, adventure trails, and captivating museums.
So much more than just Viru Bog
Lahemaa National Park is a true gem. It offers charming villages, soft sandy beaches, magnificent manors, and unique natural habitats. Võsu Beach, the Captains’ Village of Käsmu, and the manors of Palmse, Vihula, and Sagadi are just a few of the beautiful spots to explore. For hiking enthusiasts, Lahemaa boasts numerous trails, including the Beaver Trail, Oandu Cultural Heritage Trail, and the Käsmu and Altja trails.
Days filled with adventures and hidden treasures
On the days when the weather is not ideal or you have had enough of woodland walks, Lääne-Virumaa offers plenty of other exciting options. History and culture enthusiasts can explore the Estonian Police Museum, Rakvere Castle, and Kadrina’s Nostalgia Centre. For those seeking more adrenaline-packed experiences, Lontova Adventure Park and Sämi Siil Recreation Center offer canoeing and paintball.
For breathtaking, almost surreal views, head to the Äntu Lakes, home to the clearest waters in Estonia. Among the hidden treasures is Tudu Bog Lake, perfect for swimming, with a cozy picnic area, grill spot, and a forest hut nearby. Toolse Castle ruins also surprise visitors with stunning panoramic views.
A short drive away
What makes Lääne-Virumaa special is its compact size, where everything is just a short drive away. You can choose a cozy spa to stay at—like Aqva SPA, Wesenbergh SPA, or Vihula SPA—spend your days exploring the region, and unwind in the spa each evening. Dining options cater to every taste. For gourmets, Mere 38 in Võsu, the Michelin-recognized restaurant, awaits, along with Wirkes at Vergi Harbor, Kaspervik in Käsmu, Blücher Café in Kunda, and several family-friendly restaurants in Rakvere.
