Hiking Trails

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.

In 2014, we opened a wheelchair path in a historic 16^th-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.

Eestis on allikaid olulisteks pühapaikadeks alati peetud, enamikul arvati olevat tervendav toime ja allikasse heideti ohvrianniks hõbemünte. Aegviidu Siniallikad on tuntud muistse ohvriallikana ja oma nime saanud omapärase sinise varjundi tõttu, mis on tingitud põhja settinud sinisest savist.

Aegviidu Siniallikad on tõusuveeallikate rühm, mis asub Kõrvemaa maastikukaitsealal. Siniallikad toovad vee maapinnale oosidevahelises nõos, kus asub allikajärvik. Siniallikad asuvad Kauksi-Aegviidu-Penijõe matkaraja ääres, parim aeg allikaid külastada on suurvee ajal.

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.

Seikluslik kajakimatk Hara saarele on ideaalne võimalus ühendada kerge sportlik pingutus, kaunid Lahemaa loodusvaated ning põnev ajalugu. Retk algab Hara sadamast, kust suundume koos kogenud retkejuhiga üle vee. Teekonnal saad nautida panoraami legendaarsele allveelaevade baasile ning rahulikku merd, kus aerutamine on jõukohane ka algajale. Sihtkohaks on Hara saar – kunagine baltisaksa aadlike lemmik puhkepaik, millel on oma roll Eesti toiduloos, sest just siit sai alguse Tallinna kilude purki panemise traditsioon.

Matk kestab ligikaudu 1,5 tundi ning korraga saab osaleda kuni kuus inimest. Osalemine on mõeldud täiskasvanutele ja noortele alates 17. eluaastast. Suvised kajakimatkad toimuvad nii kaua, kuni ilm soosib – soe päike ja sillerdav meri loovad elamuse, mis jääb kauaks meelde.

Pärast aktiivset aerutamist ootab sind võimalus einestada sadama restoranis, tellida toitlustus otse saarele või nautida lõõgastust Hara sadama elamussaunades. Tule ja avasta Hara saar uue nurga alt!

The rocky coastal areas offer technical challenges and the excitement of crossing the water. After passing the coastal strip, you turn into the forest, from there onto the road and through the colorful village of Kaberneeme. At the tip of the peninsula, you take a break, after which you head back through the village to the coastal forest, where interesting crisscrossing hilly bike paths will delight all cycling fans. At the same time, you will see the coastal view from a slightly different angle, from a higher vantage point.

Or let’s hike in Viru bog.

Tour includes guide service, transportation, lunch, entrances to Palmse Manor and Käsmu Maritime Museum.

My childhood home is located in this neck of the woods. Even though there was no hiking trail in Viru bog at the time, our family often came here to pick berries and mushrooms, and my father for work.

Now, there is a lovely hiking trail where you can explore the bog. There is a foot path leading through a pine forest, a boardwalk in the middle of picturesque bogs, an observation tower, as well as a picnic area near the Kalmeoja parking lot.

Discover all of this with a guide!

Kutsume sind pere või sõpradega hülgevaatlusele!

Hülgevaatlus on põnev seiklus, sest harva avaneb võimalus näha neid toredaid ja uudishimulikke mereloomi nende loomulikus elupaigas. Hülged on mängulised ja tihti tulevad nad ise paadi lähedusse, pakkudes erakordseid hetki otsekui looduse laval. Lisaks saab hülgeid jälgides nautida kauneid rannikuvaateid.

Malusi saartel asub Harjumaa suurim hülgeala. Tule ja naudi merd, hülgeid ning mõnusat snäkki paadisõidu ajal. Vaatlus toimub ainult paadist, et loomi liigselt mitte häirida.

Grupi suurus on 4 inimest ja vaatlusreisi kestvus on kuni 2,5 tundi.

Vaatlus sisaldab:

• Paadisõitu
• Päästeveste
• Kerget suupistet ja jooki

NB! Võta oma binokkel kindlasti kaasa. Lisatasu eest on võimalik külastada ka teisi Kolga lahes asuvaid saari ja seal jalutada.

Selle reisi eesmärk on näha ja kuulda kolme Euroopa suurkiskjat ilvest, karu ja hunti. Sügise saabudes ja ilmade jahenedes muutuvad metsloomad aktiivseks. Ilvesed on pidevalt saagijahil, karud otsivad süüa, et talveks rasvavaru koguda ja hundid peavad toitma suureks kasvanud kutsikaid.

Otsime Lahemaa rahvuspargis ilveseid, ööbime Alutaguse karuvaatluse varjes ja üritame kuulda hundikarja ulgumist Matsalu rahvuspargis. Meil on väga hea võimalus näha ilvest, karu, kährikuid ja põtrasid ning kuulda hunte. Sügis on ka lindude rände aeg ja lisaks rändlindudele otsime kakkusid, metsiseid ja tetresid.

Kalijärv asub Lääne-Virumaal, Tapa vallas, Jäneda külas. Järve pindala on 4,1 ha, keskmine sügavus 4,9 m, suurim sügavus 9 m. Järve kirde- ja idakallas on kõrge ja metsane vallseljak, mujal on kaldad madalad. Põhjakaldale on rajatud supluskoht. Lõunast voolab järve külmaveeline kraav, väljavool on põhjaotsast Jänijõkke. Järve taimestik on vähene. Järv on lisatud Terviseameti avalike supluskohtade nimistusse.

Huvitav teada:
Jäneda Linnamäe külje all asuva kauni järve ääres on kunagi oma suvepuhkuseid veetnud inglise kirjanik George Herbert Wells.

Järvesoo ja Savalduma soo räätsamatk on retk neile, kes tahavad rabasse minna nii, et loodus jääb sõbraks.

Räätsadel liigume kohtades, kuhu laudtee ei vii, ning õpime märkama kuidas soo töötab: soo arengujärgud, rabaelustik ja liikide seosed elukeskkonnaga. Vaatleme põnevaid „kurisuid“ – kohti, kus soo justkui neelab vett – ja arutame, miks see on oluline kogu piirkonna ökoloogiale. 

Matka jooksul loeme märke: jäljed, taimed, sammal, veesilmad, linnuhääled. Kui keegi küsib: „Kas see on karu jälg?“, vastame ausalt ja muigega. Õpime, miks rabas kõnnitakse hajusalt, kuidas räätsad vähendavad soo tallamist ja mis vahe on laukal, rabajärvel ja rabamättal.

Puhkepausil keedame soojendavat teed rabaveest ja looduslikest taimedest. Matk sobib peredele, sõpruskondadele ja tiimidele.

NB! Oleme liitunud „Räätsaturismi hea tavaga“ ning seetõttu ei toimu räätsamatkad 23. aprillist kuni 24. juunini.

Järvi Pikkjärv, located in the Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve, is a 5.2 ha natural lake surrounded by a mixed pine-spruce forest. The shore at the northeastern end of the lake is sandy and suitable for swimming. Depending on the season, blueberries, lingonberries and mushrooms can be found in the surrounding forest.

The camping area is located in the forest under the spruce trees in the northeastern corner of the lake. The 27 km-long Järvi-Aegviidu hiking trail also starts from the Järvi Pikkjärv camping area. The area has several campfire sites with grills and covered shelters with benches and tables.

Come and enjoy your vacation in the middle of nature!

The 27 km-long Järvi-Aegviidu hiking trail showcases the beauty and charm of Kõrvemaa’s nature. The trail is open all year round and is accessible from the Aegviidu Visitor Center.

The hiking trail has boardwalks for 3 km and partially overlaps with the Paukjärve and Jussi nature trails. The 2-3 day journey includes several camping areas, campfire sites, bogs, and lakes where you can swim. The trail is marked with red dots on the trees.

If you are looking for a peaceful and scenic place to hike, camp, or enjoy nature, the Järvi-Aegviidu hiking trail is a great choice!

The tip of Juminda Peninsula, or Juminda Cape, located in Lahemaa National Park, is interesting because the tip of the cape continues under the sea. The cape continues with a “chain” of large rocks, which actually move in the event of a large wave. It does not get very deep. A wonderful beach awaits you at the end of the peninsula.

You can also see a memorial erected at the tip of the cape to the ships and people who died in the Battle of Juminda in World War II. The memorial is built with empty mines.

Right at the tip of the cape is the Juminda camping area, which has campfire sites. Nearby is Juminda Lighthouse and a hiking trail.
