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!

During the trip, we will explore Juminda or Pärispea peninsula in Lahemaa. Just as the local nature – special, rustic, and tough – the coastal language is also special. We will visit the people speaking the language and walk around the village, on a hiking trail, or another beautiful place.
About 100 people remain who still speak the Kuusalu dialect of this north-eastern coast. As we speak to a person fluent in the coastal language we will learn more about the language and the local life.

The Kõnnu Wetlands have a special atmosphere. A lake that rests between eskers in a giant basin has paludified over the course of thousands of years. The surface of this light-filled swamp is densely covered with bog-pools.

An experienced guide will take you to explore Põhja-Kõrvemaa’s bog landscape, which is ideal for snowshoeing in winter and bogshoeing during the rest of the year. Hilly terrain alternates with wide-open bogs, and from steep ridges, you can view the lakes. During the hike, you’ll reach the area’s largest bog – Kõnnu Suursoo, characterized by watery ponds and springy hummocks. 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.
The snowshoe hike lasts 2–3 hours and covers a distance of 2–8 km, depending on your preference and pace. We meet at the Järvi Pärnjärve campsite, where you will receive your equipment. Then, the journey into car-free nature begins!

The Neeruti Landscape Protection Area hiking trail is located along the Rakvere–Pärnu highway, about 3 km south of Kadrina.
The trail can be completed as either a 1.5 km or a 3.5 km loop. It runs along long northwest–southeast oriented ridges – eskers – that were formed over 10,000 years ago. Their steep slopes reach up to 45 degrees in places, offering both physical challenge and views of beautiful nature. The shorter loop circles around Tagajärv and Eesjärv lakes, continuing to Saddle Hill (Sadulamägi), where an ancient hill fort is located. The longer route extends to Kiissaaugumägi, revealing an even more diverse landscape.
In addition to its natural value, the trail also has cultural and historical significance. Nearby in Jõepere was born Estonian writer and physician Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald, whose national epic Kalevipoeg gave the Neeruti landscapes a poetic form.
The trail offers the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the epic as well as to sense the natural forces that shaped the lives of our ancestors.

The spring is some 20 meters downstream from the Nõmmeveski falls, the pipe runs up to the western bank. At the Kalmeoja campfire site, you can take bog water from the Viru bog.
Lahemaa National Park is Estonia’s oldest and largest national park, featuring untouched forests, coastal areas, bogs, and historic manors. One of the most popular spots in this area is Oandu Nature Trail.
This 4.7 km long hiking trail winds through various forest types and natural habitats, offering the opportunity to see old trees, lichens, mushrooms, and traces of wildlife activity. Information boards along the trail provide an introduction to the forest’s development and the landscape shaped by the Ice Age.
The trail begins at the Oandu Visitor Center, where you can also explore exhibitions and gather information about the area’s nature and forestry. The loop, which can be completed in about two hours, is suitable for less experienced hikers and is accessible for families or small groups to explore. Oandu Nature Trail is ideal for a day trip from Tallinn or nearby, offering a combination of movement, fresh air, and an opportunity to learn about Estonia’s nature.
