Estonia: looking for wildlife, including Wolves and bears

Estonia is a country that is still incredibly wild, with as much as 75% of its territory still covered in forests and bogs.

 

As a result, despite its relatively small size several hundred wolves roam the country and as many as 500 bears.

 

Indeed, like several other countries in Europe, it can feel like you have stepped back in time when you visit, as it feels far more like western Europe would have done 500 years ago.

 

There is a good tourism sector, with plenty of bear hides and guides. I hope to add plenty of these over the coming years. Add your sightings below.
