Land of mires
The name “Soomaa” is
translated land of mires. The
name is very accurate,
because large part of NP are
freshwater wetlands.
Only the bogs cover more
than half from the NP, but in
addition to bogs also the
forests and grasslands and
sometimes even gardens are
turned into swamps because
of the regular floods.
Soomaa NP is one of the
biggest national parks in
Estonia, its total area is
39 640 ha.
The protection aim of the
NP is to preserve mires,
floodplains, forests in the
Transitional forest-rich
zone of Estonia.
