Alutaguse National Park

Alutaguse National Park (Estonian: Alutaguse rahvuspark) is a national park in Eastern Estonia.[1] The park was established in 2018.[2]

The park lies mostly on Alutaguse Lowland. This region is chararacterized by sparse settlement density and high percentages of natural landscapes. Roughly, 54% of the park is under bogs, and 42% is under forested landscapes.[1]

Many rare species are living in the park, including flying squirrel, willow grouse, and black stork.[1]
