Sakala Road hiking trail (12 km)

This 12 km trail is intended for a longer hike. There are nice campfire sites along the trail for camping and also Saeveski forest hut, where hikers can find shelter in bad weather. The trail can be completed on foot and by bicycle.

This 12 km one-way trail in the Sakala recreation area follows the forest roads along which C. R. Jakobson, the 19th-century Estonian national awakening leader, travelled from his home at Kurgja via Vanaõue to Viljandi to edit his newspaper Sakala. It can be walked or cycled; arrange transport at the far end. On the way you find the Mullasamba and Maltsaare rest stops, the Kabelimäe campfire site, the Luite campfire site with camping, and the Saeveski forest hut on the Saarjõgi, a good shelter in bad weather. Each March the Sakala Road hiking day is held here.
