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!

which has a diving tower and where you can hire boats. It is also home to the Kaie spring. Folk tales talk of a slave girl named Kaie whose beauty caught the eye of the lord of the manor. But his love for the girl was not reciprocated, and it is said that one day while Kaie was gathering hay by the lake he threw her into the water. Unable to swim, she drowned, and the hay in her apron is said to have formed the lake’s floating islands.

- keedad maitsvat metsataimeteed
- soovi korral valmistad lõkkel ka supi
- harjutad, kuidas tegutseda, kui oled eksinud või pead hakkama saama ilma elektri ja veeta

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.’
The price for a programme instructor’s services is 54 euros per hour (in case of groups of more than 20 people, two instructors are required, and accordingly, the price is 108 euros per hour).
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!
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.

Discover the magical bogs of Estonia on a guided bogshoe hike – a unique adventure starting in Tallinn.
Bogshoes are lightweight frames attached to boots. They help you walk on soft, wet ground and allow you to explore areas that are otherwise inaccessible on foot.
During the hike, you will learn about local wildlife, enjoy views from a watchtower, and taste mulgipuder, which is listed on UNESCO’s intangible heritage list. The hike usually takes place at Kõnnu Suursoo, located in the Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve, but the guide chooses the best location based on the season. The selected bog is 1-1.5 hours’ drive from Tallinn.
The tour includes round-trip transportation from Tallinn and all necessary equipment. We will hike 4–5 km, and the entire tour lasts 5–6 hours (including transportation). The hike is intended for a group of up to 3 people. By prior agreement, private groups of up to 4 people can also join the hike. Larger groups can also participate if transportation is not needed.
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!

Rummu raba räätsaretk loodusest hoolijatele – koos loodusgiidiga, natuke nalja ja palju „ahha!“ hetki.
Matkal tutvume soo arengujärkudega, õpime tundma rabaelustikku ja liikide omavahelisi suhteid ning arutame, miks raba on meie „vaikne superkangelane“: hoiab vett, hoiab elurikkust ja hoiab meil pea klaarina. Liigume räätsadel rabas umbes 1,5 km ja kogu retke pikkus on 4–5 km – paras amps nii peredele, sõpradele kui ka töökollektiivile (tiimihing tuleb rabas üllatavalt kergelt!).
Võta kihid selga, soojad kindad ja uudishimu kaasa. Sõltuvalt ilmast ja aastaajast võib raba pakkuda avaraid vaateid, samblavaipa, värskeid jälgi või lihtsalt luksuslikku vaikust.
Järgime Räätsaturismi head tava: kaitsealustes soodes räätsamatke ei toimu 23. aprillist kuni 24. juunini. Matk toimub ettetellimisel; kohtumispaik täpsustub broneerimisel.
Retk on peresõbralik ja lemmikloomasõbralik ning märgistatud EHE märgisega. Broneeri aeg, haara sõber kaasa ja tule rabasse – siit saab hea tuju kaasa. Nii!
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.

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.

Eesti Vabariigi 100. sünnipäeva tähistamiseks rajatud tammepark.
Pargi rajamist Tamsalus Paide maantee äärde alustati 2017. aastal. Istutati 100 noort 3-4 meetri kõrgust tammepuud. Tammede ümber paigaldati raudbetoonvööd, mille ülemistele kaldpindadele on süvistatud 100 Eesti vanasõna. 10 tamme ümber on ehitatud ümmargused istepingid. Pargis on jalgteed koos valgustusega.
Tammepark laiub Tamsalu lääneosas Kukelossi ümber. Kukelossi nime all tuntud tsaariaegse hoone müürid on konserveeritud ja viimistletud. Müüride vahele on ülesseatud lubjatööstuse ajalugu tutvustav ekspositsioon.
The diverse 18-basket disc golf park, which is quite challenging, is located on the Tamsalu health trails. There are mandos, complex ob-areas, open drives longer than 150 metres, and narrow 70-metre forest trails.
You can rent discs from the Tamsalu Sports Centre (three hours costs 2 euros). The park is open 24 hours and if you have your own discs, you can play for free.
Come and test the park!
When snow covers the land, cross-country ski trails will be waiting for you near the Tamsalu Sports Complex. You can ski on trails with different lengths and the 4 km trail is lighted until 21.00. Useful information: see our homepage for more detailed information about the trails and snow.
Tamsalu Sports Complex also has washing facilities, sauna, pool and gym. There’s also a hostel and café.
Tapa linnas, Männikumäe tänaval, asub kaasaegne madalseikluspark. Park on osa Tapa valla tervisespordi- ja vaba aja veetmise infrastruktuuri arendamisest ning selle eesmärk on pakkuda linnakogukonnale kvaliteetset ja ligipääsetavat liikumisvõimalust.
Madalseikluspark koosneb 33 erinevast elemendist, mis sobivad nii lastele kui täiskasvanutele. Platvormide vahel on sildade ja takistuste süsteem, mis arendab tasakaalu, koordinatsiooni ja meeskonnatööd. Rajatis on piisavalt suur, et korraga saab parkid kuni 70 autot, võimaldades nii individuaalset kui grupitegevust.
Parki kasutavad aktiivselt Tapa linna haridusasutused, spordiklubid ja erinevad kogukonnad ja oodatud on ka kõik piirkonna külastajad. See on avatud kõigile huvilistele, pakkudes võimalusi igapäevaseks liikumiseks, treeninguteks ning korraldatud üritusteks. Lisaks asub madalseikluspark terviseradade, suusaradade, discgolfi raja ja trennipargi läheduses, luues mitmekesise liikumisvõimaluste piirkonna.
Tapa linna piiril ootab sind 18-korviga 1,8 km pikkune mängurada, mis sobib nii algajale kui ka juba kogenenud mängijale. Suvel mõnusas roheluses ja talvel lume sees mängimine on kõigile põnev tegevus.
Raja kasutamine on tasuta ja julgelt võib tulla oma ketastega mängima. Kel kettaid omal pole, saab need laenutada 1,5 km kaugusel olevast Tapa Spordikeskusest 2 € eest.
