3-4h
Moderate
Canoe trips combine peacefully enjoying nature with a fun struggle against the forces of nature.
A bog you normally can't reach
Snowshoes spread your body weight over a wider surface and let you walk on the soft bog surface where you would sink in ordinary footwear. The guide leads you between the bog pools and hollows and explains how a bog forms and why it is so important.
In winter the hike becomes a snowshoe hike in the snow – the quiet white bog is one of the most beautiful sights in South Estonia.
