Tihu study trail (1.2 km)

One-way study trail leads to the largest lake in Hiiumaa, located in a hollow between dunes. The paludification process can be observed here. At the end of the trail, a 200 m boardwalk leads to an observation deck at Lake Tihu.

A one-way trail of 1.2 km in Hiiumaa leads to Lake Tihu, the largest lake on the island, lying in a hollow between old dunes. Along the way you pass old forest, small dune ridges and raised-bog pinewoods smelling of bog rosemary, and boards explain how the lake is slowly turning into mire. The last 200 metres are boardwalk ending at a platform on the shore. Bring binoculars for the water and bog birds, and come in summer to see the water lilies. Bring drinking water too; the lake is too shallow over its mud to draw from.
