Mändjala study trail (1,6 km)

The trail starts from the parking lot. It leads around RMK Mändjala Nature House, goes through various stages of development of the dune system, reaches the picturesque sandy beach and meanders in a beautiful pine forest on dunes.

Starting from the car park by the RMK Mändjala nature house on Saaremaa, near Kuressaare, this 1.6 km loop takes about an hour. It shows the stages a dune system goes through, from bare sand on the beach to dunes covered with pine forest, dips down to a picturesque sandy beach and winds through a beautiful dune pinewood. Seven small boards introduce the local life and heritage, including protected species. A smartphone game explains how dunes form, gain plants and turn into forest.
