The circular 1.8 km study trail goes around Valgesoo bog. On the trail you can see typical bog vegetation, old forest, the so-called Baron's pine stand and the wood ant population at the edge of the forest.
This 1.8 km loop circles Valgesoo bog in Põlva County, 1.6 km of it on wide boardwalk. On the way you see bog plants, the 'Baron's pine wood', a forest edge alive with wood ants, and one of National Geographic's yellow window frames that mark especially photogenic views. The rebuilt observation tower by the car park gives a view of the whole bog from 23.8 metres. The trail is for walkers only, and a smartphone game asks who is called the flycatcher.
