Põldotsa will take you back in time as if you were going to the countryside to your grandparents. Thinking about Põldotsa farm, a cosy Estonian country house comes to mind, not a hotel-like tourist destination. It is a genuine Estonian farm with everything you need: a sauna, a pond, a campfire site, a lot of space and freedom. The stable houses a party room where you can hold banquets, trainings, meetings. Sleeping is as usual in a country house: we do not have a hay barn, but there are rooms for both couples and companies, in a small cabin and under the stable’s roof, on the second floor of the farm house and in the comfortable bedrooms made of the old barn and wood shed.

The focus of this nature tour is on three iconic mammals – the lynx, the brown bear, and the wolf. For now, let’s focus our attention on the lynx, who has the most secretive life. About 500 lynxes are thought to live in Estonia, and they are mostly seen in Alutaguse and Lahemaa National Park.
Estonia also has a large bear population of almost 1,000. We will monitor their activities from a hut. In addition, we hope to hear the howls of wolves on dark autumn nights.
We will also have plenty of time for bird-watching. The tour includes accommodation and meals.
The best time to order a tour is the first three weeks of October but you can contact us all year round!
We also organise scheduled animal watching trips which you can join alone or with a friend, see our website for more information.
A kicksled hike in Matsalu National Park in winter!
We organise hikes in suitable weather conditions. The rules of the national park allow kicksledding in a unique area of the reserve until the end of February. From March, the bay belongs only to birds. If ice conditions allow, we will also go on a 6–8 km circle around the Haeska islets.
On the sea ice, you can ride on an ice carousel and get acquainted with ice fishing. Fishing is done with real coastal fishing traps. You can also buy fish. At the end of the trip in Tuulingi, we offer soup and talk about the past, present, and future of the place.

When creating the Von Gernet Café on the Haapsalu promenade, we were inspired by the sea, architecture and history. We want every guest to feel the joy of life while on holiday and enjoy all our delicacies.
To create the menu, we first delved into the archives to learn about the food preferences of the 19th-century Tsarist court and the style of the cuisine at that time. Now, we can offer beloved classics and new dishes from French and Slavic cuisine. Of course, all dishes have been given a modern presentation.
Haapsalu is a highly regarded holiday destination with many festivals.
Come and enjoy luxury in a resort town!
