Hiking Trails

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. The beautiful panoramic view to the otherworldly landscape that is ornate with bonsai-like pines can be enjoyed from the top of the lookout tower that has been erected in the middle of the swamp near Lake Paukjärv.

The price includes the hike, snowshoes, poles, and if necessary, leggings, and a guide. At the end of the hike, you can enjoy a picnic, sit around a campfire, and talk about the hike.

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!

If desired, we can hike in the dark – bring a headlamp or borrow one from us. If you want to add even more excitement and fun to the adventure, order a nature bingo game to play.

The service includes snowshoe rental and a guide service, and if needed, we can also provide you with rubber boots.

Meeskonnakoolitused, mis sisaldavad erinevates mahtudes looduses viibimist ja lõkkerestorani töötuba. Põhiprogramm sisaldab grupile jõukohast matka ja lõkketoitlustust. Koos matkame, koos süütame lõkke, koos teeme süüa ja koos naudime head olemist. Need mõnusad tulemused aga eeldavad tugevat meeskonna koostööd.

Hoolime füüsilisest ja vaimsest tervisest. Parim viis selleks on looduses veedetud aeg, kusjuures mida rohkem tunde ja mida vähem ajapiiranguid, seda lihtsam on jääda sõltuvusse.

Laagrisse võib jääda metsa või Niidu karjamõisa, kus matkalistele sobilik kaminaruum, välisaun ja hooviala.

Tule avastama kaunist paika Eesti põhjarannikul koos sõpradega!

Alustame Muuksi linnamäe parklast linnamäel käiguga, nautides kaunist vaadet Kolga lahele. Edasi tutvume Tsitre suvemõisa põlise pargi ja mererannaga, kogudes teadmisi seiklusmänguks.  

Pärast matka on aeg panna endid proovile seiklusmängus meeskondadele. Saab lõbusalt tegutseda ning nautida loodust. Soovi korral on võimalus pidada rannas, RMK lõkkekohas, piknik.

Eelneval kokkuleppel on võimalik marsruuti lisada veel mõni ümberkaudsetest huviobjektidest või kodumuuseumitest.

Pane müts pähe ja tule metsaseiklusele – jõuluootus looduses on palju ägedam kui kaubanduskeskuse järjekord!

Rändame Kaberneeme poolsaare ja Lahemaa kuusemetsades, otsime endale sobiva jõulupuu (soovi korral ostad selle RMK äpiga), uurime metsaelu ning loeme värskeid loomade jälgi: rebane, jänes, metskits. Teel teeme peatuse “mägratänaval”, kuulame giidi lugusid ja õpime lihtsaid loodustarkuse nippe: kuidas jäljest aru saada, mida loomad söövad ja miks talvine mets vajab rahu.

Pausil sütitame lõkke ja keedame vaarikavarre teed – ning kui ilm tahab show’d teha, kolime jutud indiaani püstkotta. Saad kaasa ideid, kuidas jõulud teha natuke rohelisemalt (ja natuke naljakamalt): vähem plastikut, rohkem päris elamust.

See on mõnus üritus perele, sõpradele ja töökollektiivile; hästi käituv koer võib samuti kaasa tulla. Pane jalga soojad saapad ja võta kaasa kindad – ülejäänu eest hoolitseme meie. 

Modern adventure parks and games are nothing new. Life in the countryside, however, has been full of adventures from the beginning.
Come and participate in it at Mikumardi.

A day at Mikumardi rural adventure park includes educational and entertaining activities. We will talk about how and which games did children play in the old times and what jobs did the locals have to do.

You will be able to learn about the history of one of Estonia’s oldest farms, hand-milk a cow, ride a zipline into a haystack, practise balancing yourself on milk containers and a horse trolley, tend animals, and participate in seasonal farm work (hay mowing, sheep shearing, ploughing, harvesting, etc.).

 

Aastasadu tagasi kandis Muhu saar nime Mohn. Kui lisame siia lõppu ühe tähe, siis jõuame aga hoopis põhjarannikule ja leiame eest 62,5 hektarit tuulepealset võlumaad Läänemere lainetes – Mohni. Mandrilt, Viinistu rannakülast, on Mohnile vaid ca 5 km. Vesi aga on siin nii sügav, et jalad põhja ulatavad! Mohni poeb hinge imelise liigirikka looduse, kauni tuletornikompleksi ja värvikate legendidega.

Kui kaatriga saarel randutud, teeme jalgsimatkal retkejuhi juhatamisel nendega tutvust ja mõistagi vestame ka tänasest saare elust-olust. Retkele võimalik tellida toitlustus lisatasu eest.

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.

Nõmmeveski-Liiapeksi hiking trail is a hiking trail with plentiful flora located in the Lahemaa National Park. The trail runs along the Valgejõe river and on the high banks of the valleys of its distributaries up until the Vasaristi falls, then along the old village roads until the Pärlijõe valley, from then across the river and along the valley embankment through the young pine forests until the Viru bog.

There are two camping sites nearby – Nõmmeveski and Kalmeoja. At the rest stops, you can make campfire. You can take water for cooking and other needs from the Nõmmeveski river. 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.

On the walk, you will be introduced to the island’s rise and fall, the beautiful nature of Lahemaa, and the rich world of birds and insects.

The tour is suitable for the whole family – it’s worth bringing comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and, if necessary, eco-friendly insect repellent. The experience is made special by the view of the mainland from the sea, which is rarely experienced otherwise.

This is a group of 14 erratic boulders with a circumferance of more than 10 metres and many smaller boulders that were formed when larger boulders broke apart upon the melting of glacial ice. They have been named after a nunnery that was located on the same site in the 15th century.
