Karula long hiking trail (36 km)

The hiking trail runs through Karula National Park and has no marked starting or end point. The circular trail is marked with signs leading to both directions; however, it is advisable to move counter-clockwise.

This 36 km walking loop circles Karula National Park, a landscape of steep hummocky hills, many small lakes and old farmsteads in the Võru County uplands. There is no set start, and although it is signed both ways, walking it anticlockwise is recommended. The route passes the Veski, Plaagi, Mäekonnu, Rebasemõisa and Peräjärve campfire sites and the Suuremäe campsite, so it makes a good two-day hike. Expect yellow paint marks on trees, two piers, boardwalk and a sturdy wooden bridge. Rare plants here include the Baltic orchid and mezereon.
