The study trail in Luhasoo is 5 km long; in its wet parts in the fen and bog there is a boardwalk. The trail passes by a bog lake and leads to a mineral soil island with a nice forest hut on it.

Luhasoo, the only mire reserve in Võru County, is fascinating because every stage of bog formation can be seen in one place, from fen through transition mire to raised bog. This 5 km trail, with boardwalk over the wet fen and bog sections, passes a bog lake and leads to a mineral-soil island where a cosy forest hut with a stove-fireplace waits. Twelve boards in Estonian and English describe the wildlife and local history. Cranberries, bilberries and mushrooms grow along the way. The trail is not cleared of snow in winter.
