Haanja Nature Park, Nature park in Võru County, Estonia
Haanja Nature Park is a large protected area in southeastern Estonia that spreads across hilly terrain with numerous lakes, rivers, and forests. It contains the highest elevations in the Baltic region, including the peak of Suur Munamägi.
The area was designated as a protected park in 1957 by the Estonian government to preserve the natural landscape and ecological balance. This decision marked an important step in safeguarding the region's environment for the future.
Farmers and foresters have shaped this region for generations through their daily work in the forests and fields. The way people manage the land here reflects traditions that continue to influence the landscape today.
The RMK Pähni Visitor Centre provides information about hiking trails, camping areas, and rental accommodations throughout the park. Staff there can offer maps and guidance to help you explore the terrain safely.
The valley of the Rõuge River contains seven lakes with varying depths and characteristics. One of these, Lake Rõuge Suurjärv, holds the distinction of being Estonia's deepest lake.
