Emajõe-Suursoo Nature Park, Protected wetland area in Tartu County, Estonia.
The Emajõe-Suursoo Nature Park spans across Estonia's largest delta bog, featuring eight lakes, one hundred bog islands, and multiple rivers and streams.
The bog islands within the nature park contained numerous settlements throughout the past century, but most inhabitants gradually relocated, leaving only a few occupied homesteads.
The autumn season brings local gatherers to the wetlands for the traditional cranberry harvest, collecting the fruits by boat as their predecessors did.
Access to the nature park requires advanced planning, as the area lacks regular trails and roads, with guided tours available from June through August.
The protected area transforms during spring floods when water levels rise by one meter, submerging over 70 square kilometers of the wetland landscape.
