Your trip
Estonia is the perfect country for cycling. Many beautiful and low-traffic roads are waiting for you: lonely beaches in a varied landscape, friendly people, a lot of original nature. All in all, you hardly ever drive longer distances.
This cycling tour of Estonia in the Baltic States will take you through the western part of the country from Tallinn via the islands of Saaremaa, Hiiumaa and Muhu, the largest in the country.
The route leads, as far as possible, on smaller roads. It will show you the best that Western Estonia has to offer – idyllic little villages with stone walls and thatched as well as romantic summer cottages in Haapsalu, Kuressaare and Pärnu, windmills in Angla, natural wonders in Kaali, friendly people and of course the Baltic Sea with its beaches, which are especially beautiful in the Baltic States.
Ferries will take you from one island to another. And finally, you can feel the unique island atmosphere – here the clocks seem to go a little slower, the islanders are never in a hurry.
Estonia offers plenty of space and air to breathe! Even in high summer you will always find enough space for yourself on the long sandy beaches.
Accommodation
You will stay in small country hotels, guest houses or even in old farms that have been converted into tourist farms. Everywhere you will enjoy friendly service and local cuisine. In Tallinn, stay within walking distance of the Old Town in a 3*** or 4**** hotel. All accommodations are very lovingly and individually furnished.
We will be happy to make you an offer for an extra night for each place of accommodation, both in Tallinn and for the entire bike tour.
