Estonia – Baltic States
The three countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are often referred to collectively using the political term “Baltic states”. Together, these states have a population of around seven million and boast a long tradition of positive relations with Germany.
Estonia, a country in Northern Europe, borders the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland. Including more than 1,500 islands, its diverse terrain spans rocky beaches, old-growth forest and many lakes. Formerly part of the Soviet Union, it’s dotted with castles, churches and hilltop fortresses. The capital, Tallinn, is known for its preserved Old Town, museums and the 314m-high Tallinn TV Tower, which has an observation deck.
