Marimetsa hiking trail (9 km)

The 9 km out-and-back trail offers a good opportunity to get acquainted with different habitats—the surface road at the start of the trail runs along a forest divide, across a meadow and through a spruce forest along the banks of the Marimetsa stream.

This 9 km there-and-back trail in the Marimetsa Nature Reserve in Lääne County shows a whole sequence of habitats. The first part follows a forest ride, crosses a hay meadow and runs through spruce forest along the Marimetsa stream, then climbs over Kureselja hill to the bog edge. From there almost 2 km of boardwalk lead across fen, transition mire and raised bog to the pools, where a 7.6-metre tower stands at the end. Keep dogs on a lead: adders are common here.
