Hirmuste study trail (1.3 km)

The trail starts at Hirmuste campsite, about 1 km from the Hirmuste village and runs through an old natural forest across overgrown dunes and through the marshy alder forest.

From Hirmuste campsite in the Kõpu Nature Reserve on Hiiumaa, this 1.3 km loop climbs over old dunes long since grown over with natural forest, then drops through a wet alder swamp and returns along the shore with open views of the sea. It is a short walk of 30 to 40 minutes, but the forest has the feel of real old growth, with fallen trunks, deadwood and the birds and insects that depend on it. Six boards in Estonian and English explain its life.
