Salevere hiking trail (1.5 km)

The 1.5 km trail runs along the ridge rising a dozen metres above the surrounding ground level. The ridge is covered with alvar forest rich in different species, the cliff towers above a nemoral forest, which is quite a rare forest type in Estonia.

In Matsalu National Park, this 1.5 km there-and-back trail runs along Salevere Salumägi, a ridge rising a dozen metres above the surrounding land. Its top is covered with species-rich alvar forest, while below the limestone scarp grows broadleaf forest of a kind fairly rare in Estonia. The path starts across a juniper alvar; halfway a side loop leads to the rampart of an ancient fortification, and at the end you can taste fresh water from the Silma spring. Stairs of 30 and 13 metres and 120 metres of boardwalk lead down and up the scarp.
