Heimtali study trail (2.5 km)

The study trail is an excellent supplement to the Heimtali manor complex. To get to the start of the trail, drive towards Viljandi from the centre of Heimtali Manor.

Next to Heimtali manor near Viljandi, this 2.5 km trail starts by the old distillery, a small building in the valley that looks like a gnome's castle. Its highlight is the Heimtali lime stand, the only one of its kind in Estonia, along with other mighty broadleaf trees: oak, ash, elm and maple. The trunks of the giants are clothed in rare mosses, many of them indicator species of valuable woodland habitat. Part of the path is covered with wood chips. It makes a good addition to a visit to the manor complex.
