Kuusalu St. Lawrence’s Day is an annual celebration, observed around August 10th in honor of Saint Lawrence. It is rooted in an ancient church holiday and is connected to Kuusalu Church and the Lauritsakivi (St. Lawrence’s Stone), which, according to legend, bears the marks of the saint’s burning gridiron. Today, the day includes a church service, a cultural program, concerts, and various community events.
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.
