Description:
Pärnu moat is full of charm, from the well-lit promenade that winds its way around it to the romantic footbridge and the fountain that spurts up in the middle of it (which happens to be the highest in Estonia).
The amphitheatre-style concert venue here is the perfect place to soak up a bit of culture. Nearby you can also see a blacksmith at work, while models of the city present its development from fortified settlement to the city it is today. You can explore the passageways between fortresses made of compacted soil and admire the restored Tallinn Gate, the starting point of an old postal route. A special playground will keep the little ones entertained too.
Accessibility
Slope at some stretches slightly exceeds 8% (e.g. the bridge), might take some effort for seniors and wheelchair users, assistant migh be suggested. There are two footbridges on the trail. One bridge is not accessable, but wheelchair users can go around.
Facilities
Parking fee in summer season from June to August (free parking with parking card (disabled parking card))
