Alutaguse National Park Visitor Center

The visitor center of Alutaguse National Park is located in village Kauksi which is with a long tradition of beach holidays in Ida-Viru County.

The visitor centre of Alutaguse National Park stands in Kauksi village and serves as the park's southern gateway. Kauksi has drawn summer holidaymakers for generations, and a 300 m walk through coastal pine forest brings you to Lake Peipus, with its long sandy beach and inland dunes. Inside, two permanent exhibitions present the treasures of Alutaguse – its huge bogs and wild forests – and the landscapes of Ida-Viru County, from forests to oil shale. Nearby start the Kauksi stream study trail, the Luite hiking trail and a section of the long Penijõe–Aegviidu–Kauksi route.
