Kiidjärve Wood Ants Trail (1 km)

The 1 km study trail introduces the life of ants. Here the hiker can feel like Gulliver among ants. The trail is for walking only!

On this 1 km loop at Kiidjärve in Põlva County you are the giant: the trail is devoted to the wood ants that build their huge needle mounds in the forest here, and boards and little bridges explain how a colony organises its life. Stop and watch the ant roads running from the nests up the tree trunks on a warm day. The trail also passes a record-tall spruce, 42 metres high. It is for walkers only; no vehicles of any kind are allowed.
