Lake Öördi study trail (2.4 km)

Öördi bog is the only bog in Soomaa National Park where a remnant lake of a former large glacial lake has been preserved on the edge of the bog.

Öördi is the only bog in Soomaa National Park where a remnant of a vast ice-dammed lake survives at the bog's edge. Normally the 2.4 km there-and-back path leads from the Öördi forest hut to the lake and two platforms. Water-restoration work has raised the level in the forest, so after rain the wood-chip path can be flooded and rubber boots are needed. Don't jump in: pine roots and trunks lie under the surface. Come instead at sunset, especially during goose migration. Rare birds nest here, so keep to the path.
