... is a european pearl for big trailie/GS riding, away from overcrowded-touristed places.
A good question quote from Horizons Unlimited:
And a response:
The same applies to many people who've asked me about Estona just to drive it quickly through. So the first recommendation for those who're planning coming here would be: don't come to Estonia just to ride it through in one or two days. It'll be another pointless "I've been there" ride you can do everywhere in Western Europe to get the same emotion from your ride.
Thus I'll create this thread for those who plan a more detailed travel into Estonia, about a week or so, especially those who're coming here with big trail bikes (like the BMW GS) to access and experience the Europe's very best gravel roads, and those in amounts you can only dream of, especially when coming from the UK.
For a start:
- A small travel guide you can get here.
- The best maps for Estonia are Regio maps. You can obtain them from most petrol stations, tourist information points or book shops.
Anyone who has interest in visiting Estonia - feel free to post your questions/suggestions/ideas here. I'll try to respond adequately and give the best information I have.
I'll try to post some tips and pics too.
Good roads, Margus

Anyone I speak to who have gone through the Baltics say that there's nothing but trees apart from the major towns - I don't believe them!!
And a response:
Of course don't believe this kind of BS as it is typical to people who just drive through countries via main transit routes.
