The best way to explore Lahemaa’s nature is to set aside enough time, pack comfortable hiking gear, and embark on discovering the local hiking and nature trails. Lahemaa’s trails vary in difficulty and character – from one-to-two-hour bog loops and the 45 km Oandu-Ikla hiking trail to a rocky kilometer leading to Purekkari Cape, the northernmost tip of mainland Estonia. The forests of Käsmu peninsula invite exploration both on foot and by bike. Lahemaa is also traversed by the E11 long-distance hiking trail, whose Baltic section is known as the Forest Hiking Trail, and which begins in the city of Scheveningen in the Netherlands and ends in Tallinn.
For Lahemaa’s hiking trails, we recommend bringing a guide, whom you can find here.
When venturing into nature, always ensure that your impact on the environment is limited to your presence. Sort any packaging and used napkins according to waste management rules. Keep the hiking trails in Lahemaa clean!

March has a really different feeling to it than the months prior to it. The days have become longer and there’s more and more sunlight in the air melting the snow and ice. It’s also a busy time in nature for many mammal and bird species.
For the main target species for this tour, the Eurasian Lynx, March signifies the beginning of the mating season. This is also the time of the year when the chances to see it are the greatest. For the lynx, we will start looking before dusk and finish around midnight in Lahemaa National Park. The rest of the day will be used for resting, looking for recent tracks, and birding! Because this tour is not only about lynx but also about other mammals and birds.
The other most important target for this tour will be the seller’s Eider, who overwinter in Estonian waters. For this we are heading to Saaremaa. Other birds, we will look for are owls, woodpeckers, forest grouse, divers, seaducks, and everything else Estonian nature has to offer.
Participation does not require any prior knowledge about orienteering in the nature and suits any age group. It is possible to vary the length, content and time of passing the trail.
Prices start at 10 euros per person. Price is valid for a group of 10–35; larger and smaller groups should negotiate the price separately.
In 2014, we opened a wheelchair path in a historic 16th-century forest park. On the wheelchair path, you can explore the forest, where there are many rarities such as a 200-year-old birch and a rowan over 40 cm in diameter.
The path provides physical activity, new knowledge about species, and a positive state of mind. The tour is guided.
It is known to be the first such trail built on a heritage site.

At Valkla Beach, you have the opportunity to rent up to five paddleboards at once to enjoy the calming waves of the sea and engage in sporty activities. Before entering the water, the instructor provides a thorough on-land guide on how to paddle safely and comfortably.
The Aztron Eclipse 10.6 board features a soft top and a full plate, ensuring stability and lightness, making it ideal for beginners. The round shape allows easy steering of the board, and the soft surface makes falls safe.
Paddle boarding is relaxing while also being a workout, as maintaining balance engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Additionally, it offers a great opportunity to spend quality time with children – they can safely ride with their parents, enjoy a water adventure, and learn balance. For children, the experience is exciting and playful; while for parents, it is a calming way to step away from everyday life.
The board’s carrying capacity is 110 kg, and on-site, there are two children’s and four adult life vests available, ensuring the whole family can safely enjoy the water.

In the bog, you can also climb observation towers that offer wonderful views of the entire landscape. In winter, you might spot tracks of wolves, foxes, or wild boars.
