Lake Öördi forest hut

It is possible to picnic, camp or have a rest in the forest hut. Hikers can take a relaxing walk to the bog lake of Öördi in Öördi bog.

Lake Öördi forest hut stands at the edge of the Öördi bog in Soomaa National Park, at the end of a 5.7 km forest road near Iia village. The Öördi study trail leads from here into the bog to Öördi lake, a residual lake: a remnant of a once much larger body of water that the growing peat has slowly filled in, now ringed by open bog and stunted pines. The water is dark and still, and it is a beautiful place to watch the light at sunrise or sunset. The hut itself is unheated, with a fire ring and space for three tents outside.
