A Historic Farm in the Heart of the Wilderness
Basecamp Estonia is located at Uuejärve Farm, surrounded by more than 20 hectares of private forest within the Natura 2000 protected area. The forests around the farm are home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including Ural Owl, Pygmy Owl, Hazel Grouse, Black Woodpecker, Brandt's Bat and many rare orchids and protected plant species.
The farm itself has a remarkable story.
During Estonia's first independence, Uuejärve became one of the country's largest silver fox farms. Hundreds of silver foxes were bred here during the 1930s, while the farmhouse, built in 1932, served as the family's home.
Following the Second World War, the entire region became part of a Soviet military training area and remained closed to the public for almost fifty years. Ironically, this restricted access helped preserve one of Estonia's most valuable natural landscapes.
Today, those former military forests have become a paradise for hikers, wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers.
Basecamp Estonia is now home to Marilin Pehka, professional nature guide, mountaineer and outdoor educator, who welcomes visitors from around the world to discover Estonia through authentic local experiences.
