Bedwetters recommends – to enjoy a fun and scenic holiday in the Soomaa National Park, make sure to try bog swimming and riding a UNESCO Heritage dugout canoe.
Situated on the border of Pärnu and Viljandi County, Soomaa is one of the true gems of Estonian nature, with its bogs, swamp forests and rivers in natural beds, practically untouched by human activity.
The Soomaa National Park, established in 1993, is the second largest national park in Estonia, and as much as half of its 39,884 hectares is covered with wetland areas. The floods characteristic of Soomaa can cover up to 17,500 hectares of the total area of the park. The spring high water is also known as the fifth season.

A cultural holiday
Bedwetters recommends – contemporary art exhibitions at the Museum of New Art are always exciting and positively surprising!
The museum’s collection contains over 700 visual art pieces, and more than 1,200 documentaries are kept in its videotheque. Established by Mark Soosaar, the art centre is extremely important in the cultural life of Pärnu.
The international exhibition of nudes known as ‘Man and Woman’ has become a tradition at the museum, as well as the recycling exhibition ‘Give a New Life’.
The museum houses an art shop selling local designs and the largest selection of postcards in Pärnu.
Bedwetters recommends – the story of our hometown begins with the Pärnu Museum, with its walls and people telling stories about our ancestors and the history of time and culture dating back 11,000 years.
We will take a walk from Pulli, the oldest known human settlement in Estonia, to the exciting Hanseatic city. We’ll pass high-class leisurers and the founders of the Republic of Estonia, to reach the present day, almost – a retro-style Soviet living room reminiscent of the homes of our grandmothers and grandfathers.
As the people of Pärnu, we grow up in the bosom of the sea and the river, drawing inspiration from the sand on the beach, the sea breeze, the song of seagulls and the linden alleys. Many musicians, writers and artists start out and become famous here – come to the museum and find out what’s so special about this air of Pärnu!
Bedwetters recommends – the Red Tower as the oldest surviving building in Pärnu is a place where you can see and experience 15,000 years of history in 10 minutes!
Today, the mediaeval Red Tower houses an exciting small museum, and its 360º panoramic cinema on the attic floor shows a unique animated film that tells you the entire history of the area, starting with the last ice age, in 10 minutes.
Do take some time to examine the tower itself and find out what Pärnu looked like 500 years ago. Imagine being Andreas Block, a mason in Uus-Pärnu (New Pärnu), or Jaan, a hired hand of the alderman of Pärnu. Pull open the heavy door of the medieval defence structure and find out whether the women of the tower are ready to tell you fascinating stories about the long-standing prison tower of the city, or about the former townspeople and about medieval crime and punishment.
