About Naturestonia
Naturestonia is a nature tourism base in Ardu village, Harjumaa, around 40 minutes from Tallinn. The focus is on small-group wildlife experiences, private forest accommodation, and genuine access to the landscapes around Paunkula, the Pirita River, and the edge of North Kõrvemaa.
Eleri Lopp — local nature guide and wildlife photographer
Eleri Lopp leads Naturestonia tours herself. She has spent decades in Estonia's forests, bogs, and river valleys, and she guides with a pace that favours observation, context, and respect for the landscape. Her background in wildlife photography also makes Naturestonia a strong fit for guests who want both sightings and better images.
Wildlife expertise, not staged nature
Naturestonia experiences include bear watching, birdwatching, moose sessions, lynx tracking by sign, beaver observation, owl evenings, bog walks, and photography-focused outings. The principle is simple: ethical wildlife observation with realistic expectations. We do not pretend to control wild animals. We create the right conditions to observe them responsibly and to understand the habitat around them.
Why the setup works for guests
Three private forest cabins allow guests to combine an evening session, a cabin stay, and a slower recovery morning without extra transfers. A 9.3 / 10 Booking.com score supports the accommodation side, while the location close to Tallinn makes Naturestonia practical for short wildlife breaks, weekend trips, and focused photography travel in Estonia.
Kāpēc mums uzticas
Kāpēc viesi uzticas Naturestonia
Naturestonia nav masu tūrisms. Tā ir vietēja, neliela un pārskatāma pieredze, kur mājiņas, gids un dabas piedzīvojumi ir saistīti ar vienu ainavu un vienu saimnieci.
Vietējā dabas gide
Eleri Lopp vada nelielas grupas Harjumaa mežos un pārzina dzīvnieku pārvietošanos, gaismu un sezonu ritmu Paunküla apkārtnē.
Tuvu Tallinai
Ardu ciems atrodas apmēram 40 minūšu braucienā no Tallinas, tāpēc īsts laiks mežā ir sasniedzams arī īsā ceļojumā vai nedēļas nogalē.
Nakšņošana un piedzīvojums vienuviet
Trīs privātas meža mājiņas ļauj apvienot dabas novērošanu, nakšņošanu un mierīgu atpūtu bez sarežģītas loģistikas.
Pieredze dabas fotogrāfijā
Papildus gida darbam Eleri palīdz viesiem ar dabas fotografēšanu, lai mežā piedzīvotie mirkļi tiktu labi iemūžināti.
