http://pilt.delfi.ee/album/157201/?view=blog&page=2

Lowland rich in bogs and flooding rivers

Formed in the course of the Glacial Era and post-Glacial Era

Located in Transitional Estonia, on the borders of the Low and High Estonia

Characterized by

- mires: swamps, transitional bogs, raised bogs; bog pools, estuaries, (hidden) brooks

- floodplains of rivers: floodplain meadows and wooded meadows

- forests on mineral soils: heath pine forests on the old dune ridges of the Soomaa/Sakale fringe area, floodplain forests on the floodplains of rivers

- the fifth season - floods in spring and autumn caused by braided rivers, little fall of rivers, land uplift in the northwest

Sparse settlement, though inhabited in the Stone Age already

Cultural heritage: one-log boats (haabjas), suspension and buck bridges, tavern sites by the ancient winter roads

Soomaa National Park:

- between the lower courses of the Halliste and Navesti rivers

- nominated as a Ramsar area
