Founded in 1933, Estonia's Soomaa National Park is best known
for having five unique seasons. The fifth season being the high-water
season. The majestic floods are essential for the continued
development of the park's ancient bogs. In the winter
there are snowshoe tours over the bogs and frozen rivers, while in the
other seasons nighttime canoe tours are available. The region is home to over 185 different types of
birds, and in addition, carnivorous animals
such as lynx, wolves and brown bears. Sooma got awarded as a Destination of Excellence (EDEN) in the category "Tourism and protected areas" in 2009.
