The trail begins one kilometre from the car park alongside the Tallinn-Narva highway, from the road leading to Loksa. First it runs first through the forest, then through the bog to the small car park on the other side by Old Narva Highway for one and a half kilometres from Loksa road towards Kemba.

Viru bog is small but full of pools, and this boardwalk crosses it for 3.5 km, from the road to Loksa near the Tallinn–Narva highway to the old Narva road near Kemba; you can also make a 5.5 km loop, returning along a dune ridge at the bog's edge (blue markers). Boards introduce bog plants such as cloudberry, bog rosemary, cotton grass and the insect-eating sundew. A tower in the middle shows the whole bog, and the path is accessible by wheelchair or pram up to the tower. At the Kemba end an old milled-peat field is being restored. Sunrise over the pools is a classic photo here.
