Soontaga hiking trail (2.9 km)

The hiking trail introduces typical South-Estonian mixed forests, plants and the flooded meadows of the Väike-Emajõgi River.

Starting from the Soontaga campsite in the Soontaga Nature Reserve in Valga County, this 2.9 km loop leads through the mixed forests typical of South Estonia, to the bank of the Väike-Emajõgi river and its flood meadows. Two bridges carry the path over the water, and boards describe the plants and wildlife of the area. In autumn the forest is good for mushrooms. The large campsite at the start has room for up to fifty tents, so it makes a good base for a weekend.
