Lake Kavadi hiking trail (2.2 km)

The pearl of the Haanja area – Lake Kavadi with its winding shoreline and numerous islands can justly claim the title of the most beautiful lake in Estonia.

Lake Kavadi in the Haanja Nature Park, with its indented shoreline and many islands, has a fair claim to being the most beautiful lake in Estonia. This 2.2 km there-and-back trail starts in the park of Uue-Saaluse manor and follows the lake shore and the forest above it to the road. Around it lies a heritage landscape where small fields on the hill slopes alternate with copses, lakes and valleys. In autumn look for lingonberries, bilberries and mushrooms. In the manor park, two fire places with grills let you camp, swim and enjoy the view across the lake.
