Description:
A very pleasant walking path with a good quality wooden boardwalk stretching through the pine forest along the Eimuru channel until almost the sea-coast. On the left side of the trail one can admire the high dunes, sometimes reaching even 16,5 m above the sea level. The sand area of the beach is not fully accessible to people in wheelchairs, yet the boardwalk stretches very close to the coast, therefore with a help of an assistant it might be feasible to reach the water. At the end of the boardwalk, using the app SAN on your mobile, it is possible to see the vitual installation “The lamprey comes”.
