Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve, Protected nature reserve in Harju County, Estonia

The reserve spans 130.9 square kilometers of forests, bogs, and over 30 lakes within a diverse landscape of esker ridges and sandy plains.

The area served as a Soviet military training ground from 1947 until 1991, when Estonia established the nature reserve after regaining independence.

Estonian writer Anton Hansen Tammsaare depicted the landscapes of the reserve while residing in the forest village of Koitjärve.

Located 50 kilometers east of Tallinn, the reserve offers a 36-kilometer hiking trail connecting Liiapeksi to Aegviidu.

The region contains Estonia's richest collection of ice marginal formations, with esker ridges extending several kilometers and reaching heights of 25 meters.
