Kurtna Lake District

The Kurtna Lake District is located in north-eastern Estonia. It consists of about 40 lakes within an area of 30 hectares. The lakes were formed while the area was glaciated.

The Kurtna Landscape Protection Area was established in (1987) 2005 to preserve region ecology. Total 2820 ha are under protection.

The composition of the lake waters has changed due to the district's proximity to the oil shale industry in Estonia.
