Saare study trail (1 km)

The most striking feature in Silma Nature Reserve is the reed beds. The Sutlepa Sea is a relict lake separated from the sea as a result of post-glacial rebound and its shores are hemmed with wide expanses of reeds.

In the Silma Nature Reserve, the reed beds deserve your attention first. The Sutlepa sea is a relict lagoon separated from the open sea by land uplift, and vast reed fields spread along its shores. On this 1 km there-and-back trail you hear the great reed warbler's croaking song, the endless reeling of grasshopper warblers and the bittern's call, like blowing into a bottle. A 5-metre platform on the way and a 7.5-metre tower at the end look over the reeds and water. Lyckholm manor and museum, coastal meadows and other relict lakes are nearby.
