Hiking trails

The best way to explore the nature of Lahemaa is to find enough time and comfortable hiking equipment and take on the discovery of the local hiking and study trails. The hiking trails in Lahemaa have varying difficulty levels and are diverse – there are hour-long bog trails, a 45 km Oandu-Ikla hiking trail, and even a rocky kilometer to the northernmost point of mainland Estonia, Purekkari Peninsula. The forests of the Käsmu peninsula invite you to explore on foot or by bike. Lahemaa is also crossed by the long-distance hiking trail E11, which is called the Forest Hiking Trail in the Baltic States and starts in the city of Scheveningen in the Netherlands and ends in Tallinn.

 

We also recommend bringing a guide with you on the hiking trails in Lahemaa, whom you can find here.

 

When going into nature, always make sure that the burden you bring with you is limited to your presence. Sort packaging and used napkins according to waste management rules. Keep the hiking trails in Lahemaa clean!

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.

The cascade is made up of three waterfalls (0.5; 1.5; and 1.6 m in height) and with about ten escarpments, the water falls about 4 metres in 10 metres. The cascade has retreated, which has resulted in a canyon valley that is more than 10 m deep. It is possible to see limestone from the middle Ordovician period in the escarpments of the cascade.
The Vasaristi cascade tends to dry up during droughts, but the white foamy waterfall is one of the most popular sights in Lahemaa National Park in the springtime.
