What defines riding in Estonia?

Estonia's 3,794-kilometre coastline runs past dramatic limestone cliffs in the north and fans out into 2,222 Baltic Sea islands, including the large island destinations of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. Riding trails wind through historic farmsteads, medieval villages, and protected nature reserves where wildlife thrives. Nearly one-fifth of the land falls within protected areas, including six national parks. A mild maritime climate keeps the country rideable across much of the year.
