Piucha is a small town in Pärnu County in southwestern Estonia, located on the Baltic Sea coast near the Latvian border. It is known for its tranquil nature and rich cultural heritage and is an important settlement at the mouth of the Pärnu River. Dating back to the Middle Ages, Piucha was once part of the Hanseatic League trade routes and retains old churches and traditional buildings.
Surrounded by dense forests, sand dunes and coastline, Piucha is part of the Rahma National Park, which is suitable for hiking, bird watching and eco-tourism. The local area is dominated by fishing and agriculture and offers unpretentious rural experiences such as farm stays and traditional Estonian cuisine.
