Near the Karula National Park visitor centre in Ähijärve village, this 0.4 km nature trail doubles as a playground for younger visitors, with a slide from the viewing platform, swings, a sandpit and a rope carousel. Along the way children learn to recognise erratic boulders and rocks, tell conifers from broadleaf trees, meet the common local birds, look into a soil profile and identify mammal tracks on a board; four hollow posts hide bird eggs. Worksheets are available at the information point, and an 800-metre smartphone trail continues round Lake Ähijärv.
