Vainupea is a village located in Haljala Parish, Lääne-Viru County, on a cape of the same name. It is situated at the mouth of the Vainupea River, on the eastern border of Lahemaa National Park. To the east, south, and west, the village is bordered by pine and mixed forests; to the north, by the sea. Vainupea village is part of the Karepa region.

The village includes Vaindloo Island, known as a stopping place for fishermen and seal hunters, and the northernmost point of the Republic of Estonia. Vainupea beach is first mentioned in 1499 as belonging to Karula Manor, and a year later in connection with a Harju-Viru court session. The village belonged to Haljala church parish.

Projects

The project ‘Creating a comprehensive tourism management solution for Lahemaa’, implemented in cooperation with Ökokuller and Lahemaa Tourism Association from 2021 to 2023, aimed to extend the Lahemaa visiting season, support the local popularization of sustainable and alternative modes of transport, and facilitate authentic local services. The project was funded by the European Regional Development Fund with €200,000.

The Visit Lahemaa, operating under the Lahemaa Tourism Association brand, unites tourism stakeholders in the Lahemaa tourism region. This region includes, in addition to the Haljala and Kuusalu rural municipalities that share the national park area, the city of Loksa and the rural municipalities of Kadrina and Tapa. We invite all those involved in tourism activities in the above-mentioned municipalities to cooperate and share their know-how, and to join the Lahemaa Tourism Association. Our members include private individuals, entrepreneurs and NGOs, and our partners include the Environmental Protection Agency, RMK, the University of Applied Sciences, local authorities, the NGO Development Chamber and other organisations important for Lahemaa tourism.
