The 2.2 km long trail is circular, completely covered with a boardwalk. The trail leads to the sandy dunes covered with pine trees, and reaches Tornimäe, where there is a 21.57-meter-high observation tower.

Rebuilt in June 2023, this 2.2 km loop near Häädemeeste runs entirely on boardwalk and takes up to two hours at an easy pace. It climbs the sandy Rannametsa dunes, covered in bright heath pine forest, to Tornimägi, on the highest dune ridge in the Baltic states, where a 21.6-metre tower looks over the Häädemeeste coastal meadow and Pärnu Bay on one side and Tolkuse bog on the other. Then it drops into the bog to its largest pool, where least water lily, bogbean and least yellow water lily grow, and you may spot sundews and coloured peat mosses. To the pool it is wheelchair-friendly.
