Nigula bog study trail’s observation tower (ca 700 m from the parking)

The observation tower is located 700 m from the Nigula bog study trail’s parking lot. The typical West Estonian bog area with a lot of bog pools, relatively steep bog front and a flat central plateau. The tower offers a view of the beautiful bog landscape surrounded with an old forest.

About 700 metres along the Nigula bog boardwalk in Pärnu County stands a 7-metre wooden tower, open at the top, with benches above and below. It overlooks a classic West Estonian raised bog with many pools, a fairly steep bog margin and a flat central plateau, ringed by old forest. From the platform you can make out the whole mosaic: dwarf-shrub bog, wooded bog, pools and hollows, Lake Nigula and the bog islands covered with primeval forest. Bring binoculars for the bog birds.
