Vihula Manor Park
German: Viol
The park at Vihula was laid out in stages through the 19th century on the uneven terraces above the Mustoja river. Its designers chose a free, landscape style rather than straight avenues, and around fifty kinds of trees and shrubs grow across the ten hectares of park and the wider park forest. The river itself was dammed to form the Vihula mill lake, and on its bank you can still find the small Vihula caves. The whole park lies inside Lahemaa National Park and is protected as a heritage site.

Eesti keeles
Vihula mõisa park rajati 19. sajandi jooksul mitmes järgus Mustoja liigendatud kaldaterrassidele. Sirgete alleede asemel eelistati vabakujunduslikku stiili ning kümne hektari suuruses pargis ja seda ümbritsevas parkmetsas kasvab umbes viiskümmend liiki puid ja põõsaid. Mustoja on pargi juures paisutatud Vihula veskijärveks, mille kaldalt leiab tänini väikesed Vihula koopad. Kogu park jääb Lahemaa rahvuspargi alale ja on kaitse all ehitismälestisena.
