Karula long cycling trail (38 km)

The trail runs through Karula National Park and has no marked starting or end point. The easiest access to the trail is at the Karula National Park’s visitor centre.

A 38 km loop through Karula, Estonia's smallest national park, made a park in 1993. Karula covers almost a third of the Karula upland: steep little hills, dozens of lakes in the hollows between them, forest and an old farming landscape of scattered homesteads. The trail has no fixed start; the easiest place to join it is the visitor centre at Lake Ähijärv, where you can get a map. It is signed in both directions. Watch for black storks and lesser spotted eagles, both threatened species that nest in the park.
