The Soomaa National Park is the second largest national park in Estonia, with half of its 39,884 hectares being covered by different wetlands. Soomaa, located on the border of Pärnu and Viljandi County, is one of the gems of Estonian nature with its large bogs almost untouched by human activity and rivers in natural beds. The flooding that is characteristic of Soomaa can cover up to 17,500 hectares of the park, and is referred to as the fifth season by locals.

Soomaa National Park is a wetland area in the Pärnu and Viljandi County. Its best known for its great flood or "fifth season", when the water from melted snow and heavy rains floods the lower forests and roads.
Admittedly, I only visited Soomaa once during the 'fifth' season, when snow and ice is melting and Soomaa is completely flooded. Canoeing through flooded forests and across floodplains was an amazing experience.
A unique natural swamp area that is a must see in every season. One of the trademarks of Estonian nature.
