Description:
The health track on the right bank of the River Pärnu, known among the locals as the Jaanson’s Track, forms a loop-type trail, when combined with the health track on the left bank of the river (with a total distance of 8 km both together), and is one of the favourite places for exercise for the people enjoying the outdoors.
People come here to ride a bicycle, roller-skate, for Nordic pole walking or just to take a walk. The track runs along the right bank of the River Pärnu, uniting the bridge at the city centre of Pärnu with the Papiniidu bridge. It has benches for taking a break and shelters for a nice picnic.
Part of the trail passes Niidu Landscape Protection Area; therefore, it has more trees and greenery than the track on the opposite bank.
Accessibility
There is a slope to access to the bridge and steep rise/fall near the Niidu forest. Wheelchair users may need an assistant. Toilet is not adapted to wheelchair users.
