About Naturestonia

Naturestonia is a nature tourism center located in Ardu village, Harjumaa, Estonia — 40 minutes from Tallinn — offering guided bear watching, birdwatching, moose tracking, lynx observation, bog hiking, and canoe trips in the forests surrounding the Paunküla Reservoir.

Eleri Lopp — Nature Guide and Wildlife Photographer

Nature guide and wildlife photographer Eleri Lopp leads Naturestonia's wildlife experiences and photography sessions in the Harjumaa forests. Eleri has spent decades in Estonian forests, bogs, and waterways. Her goal is always the same: to show visitors the landscape as it actually is, not as a managed tourist product. Groups are always small. Sessions run in English and Estonian.
