Old World Hunting in Estonia
Estonia is now in the EU. With a population of only 1.5 million people in a country which is about 45,000 square km. By comparison, Scotland has an area of 77,000 and England an area of 130,000 square km. The standard of accommodation is very good by comparison with other Eastern European countries and the food is really excellent.
Taagepera Castle
The history of the castle situated on the Latvian border begins in the 16th century, when it belonged to the von Rehbinders. Its Estonian name, Takelberg or Tagaper, originates from the von Stackelbergs(1694-1796). The castle has 32 specious and comfortable rooms, a restaurant, hunting hall and an original wood- heated sauna house with a steam room and fireplace hall.
