Description:
You will find a sign by the Jõesuu-Tõramaa Road that invites you to a boardwalk in the beautiful Riisa bog. The trail passes 8 rest stops and a watchtower. A motorway, a car park, and an outhouse are located right by the gate at the beginning of the trail. The hike begins in a spacious bog and briefly runs through the forest. In places like these, you can see the forest turning into a bog and vice versa – dry ground is replaced by wet land, and swamp plants with ancient spruce forests. You can also see some beautiful swamp pools by the trail. This is perfect location for a family picnic as well.
Accessibility
Wheelchair users and parents with baby-strollers can access the first stretch of the trail (till the first swamp pool at the 1,2 km mark)
