UNKNOWN ESTONIA - Exploring LAHEMAA NATIONAL PARK, The villages, Peninsula and Kolga Manor

UNKNOWN ESTONIA - Exploring LAHEMAA NATIONAL PARK, The villages, Peninsula and Kolga Manor
Part 1 of a 2 part final in our road trip around Estonia! After staying overnight in Laheema National Park we head off to explore the area starting with a visit to the villages of Käsmu and Viinistu then the northern end of the Pärispea peninsula - Purekkari Telkimisala, which is the Northernmost edge on the mainland of Estonia.
Our next stop inside Lahemaa National Park was Kolga Manor which was the largest manor in Estonia with its 50 thousand hectares of land. Like many grand buildings in this part of the world, Kolga Manor has a very colourful past.
Upcoming videos!
Join us next time for the final part of our Estonian road trip! We explore more of Lahemaa National Park including, Viru Bog and finish this month long journey at Jagala waterfall before heading back to where it all began -Tallinn.

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this KZbin channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

Merry Christmas guys! Wow the beach kind of looks like a few of the beaches here in Cape Town with those boulders 😄 its so absolutely beautiful. Flip the drone footgage at the northern end was beautifully paired with the music. The views are so stunning. Kolga Manor is so impressive, wow, loved hearing this history! So lovely you got to go inside. The outtakes 🤣 that was hilarious 🤣 😆 the struggle is real! Happy new year

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you for watching, Happy New Year to you too!

[@TheDetourDuo]

Hi guys! Love the play of words with the name of your channel. Honestly don't know if I've heard of Estonia, but now we might have to check that out

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thanks☺️ it’s a small but beautiful country in the Baltics!

[@TheDetourDuo]

@@TideKnotTravellers looks wonderful. Will have to look into it!

[@aniruddhatraveler]

I wish you a very happy new year...greetings from India🇮🇳. Thanks For Sharing.. See you in new video. Stay connected👍

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you! Happy New year to you too!

[@ColoradoMartini]

What a wonderful place. I would love to go to Estonia. We are so glad we found you.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you, really hope you visit one day! ☺️

[@DjusLife]

Bummer no swimming but absolutely stunning beach and just you two makes it even more fun. Those sandwiches looked delicious. Loved all the quick shots in this vlog. Merry Christmas

[@TideKnotTravellers]

belated Merry Christmas, thanks for watching!

[@lindae5937]

Lovely to see this beautiful place, it reminds me of Hundvaag Norway! So scenic, peaceful & tranquil, love it. The boulders are like that in La Digue Seychelles - stunning dotted on the beaches. Interesting to hear ABBA having a connection! Looking forward to seeing the rest next time.... lovely, thank-you & Merry Christmas!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Does feel quite Scandinavian out in the Estonian countryside☺️ we loved the Abba link and positive outcome😊 Thank you for watching, Merry Christmas!

[@TravelInteresante]

Oh man I can't with mosquitos, they are always there to ruin the happy summer days. Glad you had the beach to yourself though. Sorry you couldn't get to swim as you wished. Can't believe finally you are heading back to Talinn!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

It was a strange feeling heading back to Tallinn, felt like we were going back home 😊

[@MastMaulaPuran]

Wow really wonderful place to explore. Thanks for sharing. Lot's of love from Globetrotter travel with Puran and Karen. Merry Christmas. 🎅🌲

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@TheAverageTourist]

Very lovely scenery there as always. It was really interesting to hear about the member of Abba's story and that he came back. Kolga Manor was very cool, nice to see buildings like this open to the public.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yeh we thought that was really cool that he came from this tiny place then fled to Sweden for safety and found success with Abba and came back to help out afterwards, fascinating!

[@Explorcation]

Its so treat when you get to have a beach all to yourself, especially one that beautiful! We loved all the boulders. The migrating algae at the Kolga Manor was super interesting. I've never heard of such a thing but was really cool to see. Merry Christmas!!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We were so fascinated by the migrating algae, she was showing us where it’s moved from in pictures. Who knew that was a thing 🙃

[@xwiirastusx]

7:20 I could have sworn I heard you say "Purekkari Tikka Masala". Sounds delicious :P

[@TideKnotTravellers]

🤣 it definitely got said at least once!

[@theryanstravel1699]

Sheltering from mosquitoes! Yeah, that's a nasty bite. I think we'd be bundled up with no skin showing--even if it was hot. Really cool to learn about the trademark Estonian boulders. Nice drone footage of the northern edge. Such rugged beauty. New friends here :)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yeh the mosquitoes in Estonia are insane😅 but the nature and tranquility is just incredible! Thanks for watching guys☺️

[@TheMapPinners]

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and happy Boxing Day today ☺️ captains village looked super nice - what a lovely place to go for a summer holiday. That chicken burger looks so good and also so fun that you got to have the beach all to yourself like that too ☺️ happy to see you enjoying the last of your road trip times so much. Nicely done.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We’ve never done a month long road trip around a whole country before let alone videoed it all, it’s been fun reliving it through editing😊 thanks for watching!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Can’t believe your road trip videos are almost coming to an end 😱 Really interesting history in this one...especially the story around the suitcases. I actually really want to thank you for mentioning mosquitos in your videos...because of it, we remembered to take mozzie spray on our road trip and had no bites 😊

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yep we have covered the whole country already😊 so pleased our mosquito struggles reminded you to bring spray! 😂

[@agnebejeryte]

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@AprilChu]

Wow the mosquitoes there are vicious! I would totally get eaten alive. The beach is so gorgeous and loved seeing all the boulders that are scattered throughout. You guys do an amazing job sharing the history behind all the landmarks... very interesting about the suitcases and the ABBA connection. It would be neat to see how Kolga Manor looks once all the restaurants and hotel go in there.

[@RolandKontson]

We used those natural PLIX sprays many years ago on a week of camping in the woods, I think they liked it, we were swollen with bites. Didn't have any issues before or after with the OFF! stuff.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Ahh maybe that’s it, they actually like the Plix! 😂

[@OffRampAdventures]

Thanks for making 'unknown' Estonia, known! Merry belated Christmas wishes!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you. It’s been fun getting to know it!😊

[@Merike7173]

Häid jõule! 😊🎀🎄Merry Christmas!🎄🎀🙂

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Merry Christmas!

[@EXITImpulse]

Your videos are really inspiring! ✨ They help us a lot for our own videos! We hope to see more from you. 👀😊

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you so much!

[@ihuliige6776]

Did you not visit the art museum? It's quite impressive, with many hundreds of works from serious artists.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We didn’t visit this one, we had just been to Kumu art museum in Tallinn and only had one day to explore Lahemaa so limited on time.

[@etunimisukunimi1981]

A lot of boulders and stones in E-Stone-ia 😎 👍

[@TideKnotTravellers]

😄 indeed!

[@jaan59]

Mosquitos are small problem compare to horseflies.We have those guys also in Estonia.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Ahh yes, we found ourselves among these horseflies when we did the 10km walk to Kiipsaare lighthouse. They are no joke!😣

[@thepanamahat]

Merry Christmas TKT Best Wishes

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@synnest]

Love seeing my home country through your eyes :) btw telkimisala is not a place name, it means camping area.

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Ahh thank you! ☺️

[@SorgiStories]

And now, in the way-overdue watch-and-comment category... Are Estonian mosquitoes worse than, equal to or better than mosquitoes in the deep South of America? (Or some other area well-known for mosquitoes?) And are cucumbers, as you describe them, pickles? Or truly unpickled cucumbers? Estonia is such a land defined by its waters. (Wait, that's a contradiction! 🤪) Anyway, you've showcased its lakes, rivers and so much more of how water affects the place. You two might LOVE Wisconsin - it's four times the size of Estonia with 10 times as many lakes, and perhaps might be just as defined by water. It's also rarely above 30 degrees Celsius in the summer, though winters here can be plenty cold & snowy. WOW - what a story of escape to Sweden and triumphant return!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

All I know is we’ve been to quite a few places in the US and never been bitten this badly! Had to double check the cucumber 🥒 yes it’s simply an unpickled pickle or ‘gherkin’ as we would call a pickled cucumber here😄 Wisconsin sounds great😃

[@SorgiStories]

@@TideKnotTravellers Thanks! It's much-less mosquito-ridden than parts of the very humid American southeast. They joke it's mosquitoes as big as your head. (Not really, but you get the point.) It's a breeding ground down there.

[@BradGrassforest]

Plix is useless imho. Ben's100 or red Diffusil is what you want. Next time you know. :) Also when you have over 50 bites in one knee, (like I had last summer) then you don't really notice them anymore:)

[@thepanamahat]

50 bites.... ! shi+ if I have more than 3 I go into shock :-)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Wow, we thought we had a lot of bites but 50 on one knee might just be worse! Can believe it with the amount of mosquitoes we saw😅

[@BradGrassforest]

@@TideKnotTravellers the funny thing is that I used to be allergic to all kind of insect bites and stings but after getting stung by so many mosquitoes at once, after that I'm a lot less sensitive. Always hates insects, especially the ones who fly and buzz around your ear and are annoying or kinda dangerous. But few years ago started keeping bees. Out of the blue, overnight basically... Anyway. Happy Holidays and happy travels:)

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Love that you keep bees 🐝the world needs them! 😊

[@SuperiorKilu]

Heyo can you guys visit Keila its a small town near Tallinn

[@SuperiorKilu]

That would be so cool If you guys could

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We've seen many pics, need to see it on our next visit 😊

[@sallymay24]

Reckon you in a safer spot in Estonia then in the UK at the moment ...stay safe

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes, sadly we’re no longer there though😓

[@AttitudeAdjusterAA]

should have really invested in some bug spray :P

[@TideKnotTravellers]

We used two cans and still so many bites😅

[@vincenzoragusa1224]

domanda innocente, ma quelle che si vedono nel video al punto 1:02 non sono le TERME DI SATURNIA in italia?

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Yes, great spot!

[@gbrdhvndi]

Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Merry Christmas! 😊
