South Estonia has been featured in Wanderlust Magazine, one of the UK's leading travel publications.
The article explores what makes this corner of Europe so special: ancient forests, tea-coloured lakes, UNESCO-recognised smoke saunas, the unique culture of Setomaa and the quiet pace of life that defines the region.
We're proud to have contributed ideas for the story and delighted to see South Estonia introduced to an international audience in such an authentic way.
For us, one part of the story feels especially close to home: the region's dark lakes. Wild swimming is one of the most memorable ways to experience South Estonia – whether it's an early morning dip in a quiet bog lake or an evening swim after a wood-fired sauna.
If the article has inspired you to visit, we'd love to welcome you.
