Alutaguse National Park (Estonian: Alutaguse rahvuspark) is a national park in eastern Estonia,[1] established in 2018.[2] [3]
The park lies mostly on the Alutaguse Lowland. This region is characterized by sparse settlement density and a high percentage of natural landscapes. Roughly 54% of the park consists of bogs, and 42% is forested.[1]
The many rare species in the park include the flying squirrel, willow grouse, and black stork.[1]
