Hiking Trails

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.

Pedassaarele saab kaatriga Salmistu sadamast, kuhu saab lisatasu eest jätta ka oma auto.

Aablas on vaheldusrikas rada, kus on võimalik näha vesist, siirdesoist metsa ja raba, mida saab läbida turvaliselt mööda laudteed liikudes. Rada läbides näeme ürgmetsa, samas ka liivaluiteid ja rannavalle. Poolsaare kõrgeimasse punkti liivaluite harjal on ehitatud 13,5 meetri kõrgune vaatetorn, kust võib näha suurt osa poolsaarest, samuti Kolga lahte koos väikesaartega. Rajal asub Eesti suuruselt kolmas rändrahn Majakivi.

Kogenud loodusgiid tutvustab kõike rajal nähtavat: linde, putukaid ja taimi. Metsas läheb alati kõht tühjaks, võta võileib kaasa. 

Kohtume Hara-Juminda teeäärses parklas.

Everyone who is interested in horses is welcome at the Arma Riding Farm – in the summer there are children’s horseback riding camps; we provide riding lessons year round and various excursions for school and kindergarten groups. Families can stay overnight, take carriage rides, hike on nature trails, or organize wonderful family events outdoors. We also offer riding therapy at our farm that is intended for people with mental or physical disabilities, as well as for those whose lives have just reached a dead end and who feel that nothing makes them happy anymore.

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.

Lake Porkuni covers 41.5 hectares. It is divided using barrages into four smaller lakes: Lake Suurjärv also known as the ‘upper lake’; Lake Karujärv, also known as the ‘lower lake’; Lake Aiajärv; and Lake Iiri or the ‘Irish lake’. What makes Porkuni famous is the floating islands of Lake Suurjärv,
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.

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! Lisaks tutvustame võtteid, mida rakendatakse looduses eksimise situatsioonis ning sellisesse olukorda sattumise vältimiseks.

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!

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!

Meie matkasiht on Rutja – põline Põhja-Eesti rannaküla, mille nimevormi on kasutatud juba üle 500 aasta vanadel dokumentidel Selja jõe aasade kohal. Nood aasad koos kõrgete jõekallastega on tänaseks Selja maastikukaitsealana hoiu alla võetud. Avastamegi selle jõeäärse maa unustatud radu, hingame vana metsa hõngu, kuulame loodushääli, väisame voolavate vete uuristatud sängi, imetleme mereranda ja vaatame muistse külaelu jälgi maastikul. Rajale jääv suur rändrahn pajatab veelgi vanematest aegadest.

Matka algus- ja lõpp: Rutja külaplats
Kestus: 2-3 tundi
Vahemaa: 6-7 km

Elamuslik valgusretk klaakajakiga Äntu järvel, kus avastad looduse ilu läbi läbipaistva kajaki või SUPilaua pimedas, tutvudes samal ajal veekogu floora ja fauna mitmekesisusega.

Äntu Sinijärv on järv Lääne-Virumaal Väike-Maarja vallas. Järv asub umbes 7 kilomeetrit Väike-Maarjast lõuna pool.

See on Eesti kõige selgema veega järv, limnoloogiliselt tüübilt alkalitroofne järv. Järve oletatav läbipaistvus ulatub 15 meetrini, kuigi suurim sügavus järves on vaid 8 m. Suure läbipaistvuse tagavad võimsad allikad. Suurte allikate tõttu ei ulatu veetemperatuur ka suvel oluliselt üle 10-15 kraadi.

Tule avasta Rummu raba salapära! Matkal tutvume soo arengujärkudega, õpime tundma rabaelustikku ja liikide omavahelisi suhteid. Hindame Rummu raba väärtusi ja vaatleme kindlaid liike nende elutingimuste seisukohalt. Liigume räätsadel rabas umbes 1,5 km ning kogu matka pikkus on 4-5 km. Matk toimub looduses, järgides Räätsaturismi head tava – räätsamatke ei toimu kaitsealustes soodes 23. aprillist kuni 24. juunini. Sobilik predele lastega ja sõpradele ning loomulikult motivatsiooniks töökollektiivile.

Enjoy the beautiful nature and pick berries and mushrooms. The trail is accessible by bicycle, on skis, or on foot. Once you reach Ohepalu, you can continue your hike to Udriku lakes or even Mõndavere, Viitna, or Lahemaa.

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.

Bicycles are available for rent at the Sagadi Hotel reception. Some of the bikes are equipped with child seats. Helmets and bike locks are also provided for all rentals.

Along with the bikes, you can get a map and good route recommendations from the hotel receptionist for exploring Lahemaa. The surrounding area offers beautiful nature and excellent roads for cycling. You can choose between easier routes on paved roads or more challenging trails through the forest, with distances ranging from 5 to 50 km.

 

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.

 

Eesti muinasjutud annavad pildi meie esivanemate meelelaadist ja väärtushoiakutest, kätkevad põlist tarkust ning peidetud õpetusi. Sageli jutustavad need lood just metsast. Sagadi-Oandu Metsajuttude rajaga tähistamegi nii rahvajutu aastat kui 110 aastat Eesti looduskaitse sünnist. 

Loodusrada, mis ühendab omavahel RMK Sagadi Metsakeskust ja RMK Oandu külastuskeskust ning Oandu ümbruse radu. Rajal saab infotahvlitelt lugeda ja QR-koodiga ka kuulata metsaga seotud eesti rahvajutte ja kohapärimust nii eesti kui inglise keeles.

Rada saab lumeta ajal läbida ka lapsevankriga ja ratastoolis.
