Laiksaare nature study trail (1,5 km)

The trail runs in the riparian forest of the Rannametsa River, with rich vegetation and versatile terrain. The trail aims to introduce riparian forests, which are rare in Estonia, and characteristic bog plant communities.

This 1.5 km trail in Pärnu County runs through the floodplain forest of the Rannametsa river, a forest type that is rare in Estonia, with rich vegetation and constantly changing terrain. You cross three footbridges, step over fallen trees and scramble along the river bank, and birdwatchers will be surprised by how many species sing here. The Laiksaare forest hut with its fire place makes a good place to rest and listen. The protected Laiksaare pine forest is close by. Note that access has changed: the former forestry office yard is now private, so reach the trail on foot via the road from the forest hut.
