Estonians are known to be hard-working, neat and patriotic. Most of them are nature lovers, too, which comes as no surprise since Estonia has a wealth of natural gems that make up the best Estonia attractions.
Estonia has a temperate climate, with warm summers and severe winters. Temperatures range from a summer average of 70°F (30°C) to a winter average of 18°F (-8°C).
The Republic of Estonia is divided into fifteen counties (Maakonnad), which are the administrative subdivisions of the country. The first documented mentioning of Estonian political and administrative subdivisions comes from the Chronicle of Henry of Livonia, written in the 13th century during the Northern Crusades.
