Lahemaa National Park & surrounds

Heading east from Tallinn we went day tripping around Lahemaa National Park and the coast and inland areas here. There are multiple walking trails around but with the weather looking somewhat uncertain we just took a couple of short ones.

There is nothing quiet that fills me with a smile as finding a gem of a manor house. This one was stunning- again, well maintained but the gardens were so unexpectedly charming! They were planted by colour with some rare flower colours that I had not seen before. Spent more time here than we originally expected – just strolling around the gardens. This manor is known as Sagadi.

The rain that we had tried to run from for a few days now had finally caught up with us- it was time for some lunch but no undercover spaces around that we could find for the last hour- until we came across another old manor house- Kolga. This one has not been restored and my heart lit up to its restoration potential- my spirit not at all matching my budget!!! We hid under a veranda on an old bench here and had some warm team and lunch while it poured down!
