Named stones
Examine the collection of discrete stone entities, including named boulders and geological markers, distributed throughout Lahemaa National Park. This resource connects individual physical features to the broader regional geography, offering a structured perspective on the glacial and terrestrial markers that define the park landscape.
Bays
A bay is a body of water partly enclosed by a curved or recessed shoreline while remaining openly connected to a larger sea, ocean, or lake. Its form may reflect erosion, drowned valleys, glacial excavation, faulting, volcanic structure, sediment barriers, or other coastal processes. The category describes geographic enclosure and should not be treated as synonymous with a gulf, lagoon, harbor, or estuary when the source uses a more specific identity.
Lakes
A lake is an inland body of standing water occupying a natural or substantially natural basin and supplied by precipitation, groundwater, streams, rivers, meltwater, or combinations of these sources. Lakes can form through tectonic, volcanic, glacial, karst, fluvial, coastal, or impact processes and may drain externally or remain closed. Size alone does not consistently separate lakes from ponds, so the established entity name should be respected.
Rivers
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.
Viewpoints
A viewpoint is a named observation location from which surrounding terrain, water, or other natural features can be seen and interpreted. Unlike the other categories, it identifies a place defined by its outlook rather than a landform or hydrological system in its own right. It may be entirely natural, lightly adapted, or supported by built infrastructure, but that distinction requires feature-specific evidence.
