Soomaa National Park Visitor Center

Soomaa Visitor Centre is located at Kõrtsi-Tõramaa, at the centre of Soomaa National Park, surrounded by mires and bogs, meandering rivers, whispering floodplain woods and blossoming wooded meadows.

The Soomaa National Park visitor centre stands on the site of the old Kõrtsi-Tõramaa farm in the heart of the park. Soomaa, the land of bogs, is said to have five rivers, five bogs and five seasons, the fifth being the spring flood that turns meadows and forests into shallow water. Among its wonders is the Kuresoo bog, Estonia's largest intact bog complex, whose slope rises about 8 m – one of the highest bog slopes in Europe – and some of the country's tallest inland dunes. The permanent exhibition 'Travelling through Soomaa with a dugout canoe' presents the park from the water. The Beaver trail starts next door.
