TOUR DE ESTONIA: 900 km en 10 etapas:
Click for first stage
We finally arrive at Tallin, a small but beautiful city, with an interesting old city, its ramparts and nice squares.
WHICH BIKE
The better is a trekking bike, because most of the way are asphalted roads but sometimes are non paved. For the Soomaa National Park, better a bit of suspension.
WHEN TO GO
Best time is late spring and summer, because of the lenght of the day, thing that let be the stages more relaxed.
HOW TO GET THERE
Plane to Tallin is the better option. Combinations with Norway are also possible.
WHERE TO STAY
We stayed at little hotels with can be reserved by booking.com. I don't know about campings, but you can also stay in little hostels.
DIFFICULTIES
The route is very flat, with almost no dificulties and few cars in the roads. The Saaremaa is difficult because of the long nonpaved roads with almost no services or villages. The wind can also be strong in some stages. The ferry Hiumaa-Saarema has little frequency. From inland to Saaremaa there are mor ferries. Trains are not very frequent, but you can carry bikes.
