Pärnu County

Pärnu County combines a low Gulf of Riga coast with wooded inland terrain, reflecting its position between Pärnu Bay and south-western Estonia’s river-and-bog country. The Pärnu River reaches the bay in the city of Pärnu, Estonia’s long-established seaside resort, known for its broad beach and spa tradition. Inland, Soomaa National Park extends into the county, where floodplain forests and meadows are shaped by recurring spring floods known locally as the fifth season. The county also includes Kihnu, an island community whose distinctive cultural traditions are recognised by UNESCO.
