Oandu plant trail (1 km)

Oandu plant trail is like a natural botanical garden. Surprisingly, how many different plants can fit into one kilometer!

The Oandu plant trail in Lahemaa is like a natural botanical garden: it is surprising how many plants fit into one kilometre. It winds over flowery lawns to the riverbank, along a hay meadow and forest edge to a muddy floodplain, across a natural meadow and back through shady forest to the visitor centre. Beside it a manor-era ice cellar holds an exhibition on the forest as pharmacy and pantry, and old apple trees shade beds of heritage flowers, vegetables and herbs. In autumn an open-air mushroom display grows along the path, some years with up to sixty species; in spring frogs sing by the millpond.
