Estonia

Nestled on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, Estonia, once a hidden gem of the Soviet Union, today offers a driving odyssey etched in timeless beauty and modern adventure. Estonia, a canvas of lush forests, ancient boglands, and a shimmering coastline, unveils roads that are nothing short of poetry in motion. Among them, the legendary ice road from Rohuküla to Heltermaa stands tall as Europe's longest, where driving feels akin to gliding over a frozen sea.

As you journey inland, the allure of Suur Munamägi, aptly named the "Big Egg Mountain", awaits. This pinnacle, the highest in Estonia, not only promises elevations that touch the sky at 318m but also panoramic vistas that stretch the horizons, encapsulating the heart and soul of Võru County.

For those with an insatiable thirst for unique adventures, the icy stretch between Lao and Kihnu beckons. This 13 km of frosty marvel, situated in southwestern Estonia, weaves tales of nature's prowess and man's daring spirit.

From the medieval charm of Tallinn to the serene whispers of its dense forests, Estonia's roads bridge epochs and elements. Venture onto routes like Pärnu-Rakvere, where every turn reveals layers of history, culture, and nature's wonders. In Estonia, every drive is not just about the destination, but a celebration of the journey, where ancient legacies coalesce with pristine landscapes. Embark on this Baltic sojourn and let Estonia's roads narrate tales as old as time.
