Oandu Visitor Center

The Visitor Centre operates in a 150-year-old building, which formerly housed the forest district office.

Oandu Visitor Centre is housed in a building about 150 years old that once served as a forest district office, on the road from Sagadi manor to the fishing village of Altja in Lahemaa National Park. Its theme is how people have lived from the forest: how timber was produced and used over the generations, and what traces earlier foresters and villagers left behind. Exhibitions and films fill not only the main house but also its outbuildings – a cone-drying hut, a hay barn and an old ice cellar. Around it start several short trails, including the 4.7 km old-growth forest trail and a wheelchair-friendly plant trail.
