Bear and wolf adventures in Estonia

TMeet your host at Tallinn airport and head to a secret location Lahemaa Nationalpark, deep
in the pine forests of Estonia. Explore your boreal wonderland and stretch your legs with a
short hike to get to know the inhabitants of the Taiga ecosystem, hearing about the
importance of forest biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem. You’ll forage for berries and
mushrooms on the forest floor, and learn how to use these wild ingredients to cook delicious
food. Enjoy dinner around the campfire and a chat with your guide before hitting the hay for
a night under the stars or if the dusk falls and the forest comes alive, you’ll set out on a
torchlight hike, listening out for the unmistakable howls..

Wake up to a spot of forest yoga before breakfast and stretch out after your night. Today is
all about the grey wolves and bears that roam freely through the forest: learn all about their
behaviour, their history, and the important role they play in rewilding as a keystone species.
You’ll also learn about the Estonian Bear Project, and the conservation efforts currently in
place to protect the wolves. Later, you’ll head out to an area where a family of bears keep
their territory to search for paw prints and droppings. You durn to the wildlife wachung-hide
to see the bears or elks. Good night! Gute Nacht!

Begin with another daybreak. In the afternoon, you’ll escape to a secluded lake for a wild swim and to enjoy an age-old Scandinavian tradition, a wood-fired sauna. Then it’s back to camp to make a fire and cook some dinner – eyes peeled for roe deer, mountain hares, along the way..

After tucking into breakfast and a steaming cup of coffee, you’ll pack down and leave your secret
location, ready for the drive back in time for your flight or stay on to Tallinn for longer.
