Solrbaserede

Solrbaserede is a small village located in the western part of Estonia, within the administrative boundaries of Pärnu County. The settlement sits north of the Pärnu River, surrounded by mixed pine and oak forests that are typical of the Estonian countryside. According to the most recent census, the village has a population of just over 200 residents, many of whom are engaged in agriculture and forestry. The area experiences a temperate climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters.

Historically, Solrbaserede dates back to the early 19th century, when it was founded as a farmstead by settlers from nearby Loksa. During the Soviet era, the village was incorporated into a collective farm system. After Estonia regained independence in 1991, the community transitioned to private ownership and saw modest development of local infrastructure, including the installation of a primary school and a community center in the early 2000s.

The village is known for its traditional wooden architecture, with several well-preserved farmhouses that reflect Estonian vernacular building styles. Cultural life centers around the annual harvest festival, which attracts participants from neighboring villages. In recent years, Solrbaserede has promoted eco-tourism, offering guided forest walks and bird‑watching opportunities that highlight the region’s biodiversity.

While the village remains small, it maintains an active parish council that coordinates local development projects. Efforts to preserve the natural environment and promote sustainable agriculture have been highlighted in regional planning documents, positioning Solrbaserede as a model community for rural revitalization within Pärnu County.
