The evening kayak ride from Valkla Beach to Pedassaar is a delightful activity to end the day. Pedassaar is the highest island in Kolga Bay in Lahemaa National Park, with beautiful sandy beaches and pine forests.

On the island, we visit a former forest watch site, and the island’s northern shore has a very good view of the rest of the Gulf of Kolga islands. We look at the traces of the encroaching sea, examine the boulders in the water, and watch the sunset. The visibility of the sunset depends on the weather, but even in cloudy weather, you can see a play of colors in the western sky.

The service includes initial training, kayaking equipment, a light meal, and a guide service.

You will find the Palmse Nunnery Boulders on the right side of the road behind the walls of Palmse Manor when driving from the direction of Viitna.

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. 

According to legend the Almighty turned all the nuns who went to meet with the Devil into stone.

Pedassaare matkarada teeb ringi ümber Kolga lahe mitmes mõttes unikaalseima saare põhjaosa kulgedes piki randa. See on Kolga lahe metsaseim ja kõrgeim saar, unikaalne oma järsult sügavaks mineva liivaranna poolest. Rada asub Kolga lahe maastikukaitsealal ja rada läbides kohtad 11 huvipunkti.

Raja äärde jääb telkimisvõimalusega kaetud lõkkease. Romantikuid ootab mõnus ja isikupärane metsamaja. I korrusel on kaminaruum laudade-pinkidega ja väike saunavõimalustega ruum ning teisel korrusel põrand magamiseks.

The Energy Track winds its way through places where you will feel on top of the world and truly recharge your batteries. The track is 1.7 km long and starts and ends by the Porkuni Limestone Museum in Küngassaare. It skirts Lake Porkuni before heading into the forest of the local manor park, which may have changed a lot over time but still retains some of the exotic bushes and trees planted here during the manor era. One of the most amazing sights along the track is Porkuni’s limestone outcrop. You will also pass the head of the Valgejõe River, karst features and more. The track is marked with information stands.

Puhta vee teemapark kutsub retkele loodusesse, kus õpitakse meeskonda valmistama okstest onni, tikuta süütama lõket, keetma metsataimedest teed ja soovi korral lõkkel ka suppi. Omanda praktilised oskused ja tegevused, kuidas saada hakkama looduses, kui oled eksinud või kriisiolukorras!

Puhta vee teemapark or Clean Water Theme Park is a science park that concentrates on topics related to clean water; here, you find answers to questions, such as how clean groundwater is generated, how life depends on clean water, or what alters the quality of water.

The theme park and its office are located on Pandivere uplands, on the area in Pandivere and Adavere-Põltsamaa that is sensitive to nitrates.

The theme park conveys the message of psychologist Tõnu Ots: ‘The Creator hid all of the world’s wisdom in the nature – our wisdom is to find it.’

Purekkari Cape is the northernmost point of mainland Estonia.

The 1.5 km long rocky, boulder-strewn cape is located in Lahemaa National Park. The cape ends with a small island, which is only accessible when the water level is low. The thorny wild rose bushes are particularly eye-catching when in bloom during summer and when they have bright red fruit in autumn. Many migratory birds pass by here, making it a popular birdwatching spot.

Near the cape are former military installations and the Purekkari camping area, which is equipped with a campfire site, shelter, and information boards.

NB! The road to the parking lot is narrow and cannot be accessed by large buses.

Walking with bogshoes creates an unearthly feeling – you are essentially walking on water.

Kõnnu Suursoo was formed as a result of the Ice Age. The landscape surrounding the bog is such that the area is also called the “Estonian Switzerland”. The observation tower offers stunning views of the bogs and their colorful landscape.

The hike includes a guide, snowshoes, leggings, snacks, and drinks. If you want to experience the beauty and charm of the bog away from the boardwalks and learn more about the bog, then come on a bogshoe hike with Wanderlust!

The best way to get around in Estonia’s bogs is bogshoeing. Bogshoes are like snowshoes – except you wear them in bogs when there is no snow. The soft and squidgy surface, amazing landscape, bog pools, fascinating plant life, and the legends of the bogs make bogshoeing an unforgettable experience. Anyone who is capable of an ordinary hike can give it a go!

Lahemaa National Park is known for its bogs and there, the hike will take place in Viru bog which is rich in bog pools. The hike is perfect for those who want the ultimate bogshoeing experience without having to put in a huge amount of time or effort.

The price applies to groups of at least 12 people. For a smaller group, contact us and find out the price!

Avasta Eesti maagilisi rabasid juhendatud räätsamatkal – see on ainulaadne seiklus algusega Tallinnast.

Räätsad on kerged raamid, mis kinnitatakse saabaste külge. Need aitavad püsida pehmel märjal pinnasel ja võimaldavad avastada paiku, kuhu muidu jalgsi ligi ei pääseks. 

Matkal õpid tundma kohalikku elusloodust, naudid vaateid vaatetornist ja maitsed hooajalist traditsioonilist Eesti toitu. Matk toimub tavaliselt Kõnnu Suursoos (Põhja-Kõrvemaa looduskaitsealal), kuid giid valib parima asukoha vastavalt hooajale. Valitud raba on Tallinnast 1-1,5 tunnise autosõidu kaugusel.

Tuur sisaldab edasi-tagasi transporti Tallinnast ja kogu vajalikku varustust. Matkame 4–5 km ja kogu tuur kestab 5–6 tundi (koos transpordiga). Matk on mõeldud kuni 3-liikmelisele grupile. Eelneval kokkuleppel saavad matkaga liituda ka 4-liikmelised privaatgrupid. Suuremad grupid saavad samuti osaleda, kui transporti ei vajata.

Eesti rabad ootavad sind!

Snowshoes take you to places in the bog where the boardwalk can’t!

Viru Bog is located 50 kilometers from Tallinn. There is a beautiful pine forest, blue bog lakes, and a lookout tower. We will explore the bog and feel the spongy ground underfoot. We can pick berries if they’re in season. The guide will talk about bog plants, animals, and local lore and explain why bogs are important ecosystems.

The hike includes a guide, snowshoes, waterproof leggings, snacks, and a drink. Come on a snowshoe hike with Wanderlust to experience the charm of the bog away from the boardwalk and learn more about this fascinating landscape!

Visiting a bog is fun in every season – bogs are incredibly diverse and colourful (except for in winter if there is a lot of snow). In order to understand bogs better, visit them with a guide.

The hike is 3 or 6 km long and can be completed on a boardwalk. During the hike, we will admire the landscape from an observation tower, visit a peat milling field, take a look at and touch various plants (depending on the season), as well as talk about the related lore and the significance of bogs for the biota.

You can order transport or catering for an additional fee.
The price depends on the size of the group, the length of the hike, and additional services. Ask for an offer!

The first 1.5 kilometres of the trail are boggy, but after you cross Valgejõgi River, you will reach the Rutka hills, which run along eskers and are dry. This part of the trail is located in Ohepalu Nature Reserve.

In the autumn of 2018, the first 1.5 km section of the trail was reconstructed from the resources of the Tapa Municipality Government’s 2017 participatory budgeting project.

Rutkaste hiking trail is also called the Tapa–Ohepalu hiking trail.

The park with large ancient trees is an inseparable part of the manor. Sagadi Park has the thickest European white elm and 33 m oaks, which are some of the tallest in Estonia.

In 1985, a 5.1 hectare dendropark was built on the western side of the manor complex. Alien tree and shrub species have been planted in families, all species have been marked with labels, and there are information stands for those interested. A total of 120 species have been planted in the dendropark.
