Roiupalu study trail (3,2 km)

This 3.2 km trail introducing the wildlife of South Estonia offers many good emotions to visitors. A good place to spend an active afternoon.

A 3.2 km loop from the Kiidjärve visitor centre packs in a surprising amount of South Estonia: the winding Hatiku stream, fine views of the Ahja river and its red sandstone outcrops such as Sõnajalamägi, Palanumägi and Kunnimägi, Linasoo, the only bog patch on the banks of the Ahja primeval valley, a 'cork spruce' with strangely thick bark, a record pine, a sacrificial stone and wooden sculptures introducing small mammals. The route is marked with red dots and is for walkers only. A smartphone game asks how the dipper finds its food.
