Western Estonia.

Western Estonia is a vast land with few hills, plenty of forests, plains, many islands, and few towns. The land is the home of coastal summer houses, spa towns, and the first to fourth-largest islands of the nation. Prior to the Second World War, there was considerable Swedish-Estonian pressure in the region. The prime cities and towns of the region are Pärnu, Kuressaare, Haapsalu, and Kärdla.
