Beaver trail study trail (1,8 km)

The trail starts next to the Visitor Centre of Soomaa National park and its start is accessible by car all year round.

From the Soomaa National Park visitor centre, this 1.8 km trail leads through dim spruce forest, light fern-rich birch wood and wet swamp forest to the Mardu stream, where a beaver family has settled. Boards point out the animals' dams and gnawed trees along the way. Soomaa is famous for its 'fifth season': during the spring and sometimes winter floods most of the boardwalk disappears under water, which is a sight in itself. The first 660 metres of the boardwalk were rebuilt in 2013 and can be used with a wheelchair or pram.
