Bog-shoe hike in Põhja-Kõrvemaa (english group)
Saturday 17. January at 12:00 - 15:00
RMK Järvi Pärnjärve telkimisala, Suru
Discover Estonia’s winter magic on an English-guided bog-shoe hike through a snowy bog. In winter, the bog and surrounding forest transform into a peaceful winter wonderland. Bog-shoes turn into snowshoes, helping you move more easily over soft, deep snow. The hike takes place in Kõnnu Suursoo, located in Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve, just a 1-hour drive from Tallinn.
We will meet at the RMK Järvi Pärnjärve campsite. From there, we’ll walk through the forest to the bog. In the bog, we’ll move at a relaxed pace on bog-shoes, giving you time to notice the beauty of the winter landscape, take photos and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Along the way, we’ll talk about the bog and its unique nature and if we’re lucky, we might even spot animal tracks in the snow. From the watching tower, we’ll enjoy stunning views of the entire bog before walking back along the boardwalk to the starting point. During the hike, there will be time to enjoy a warm drink and cookies.
Spots are limited as the hike is conducted in a small group.
