A local would say...

Estonia has a fifth season — when the entire bog floods and you can only travel by canoe.

A 37,000-hectare park of bogs, marshes, crisscrossing rivers, and iron-rich black pools offering unusual experiences including walks through swampland, single-trunk canoe trips down ancient rivers, and saunas on floating rafts. The park experiences a 'fifth season' in spring when snowmelt floods turn the entire landscape into a vast inland sea. Less visited than Estonia's coastal parks, Soomaa rewards those who embrace its subtle, waterlogged landscape.
