Viru bog nature trail’s observation tower (1300 m from the parking)

The 11.4 m high tower offers a view of the beautiful bog landscape.

In the middle of Viru bog in Lahemaa, 1300 metres from the car park, stands an 11.4-metre log tower with two platforms and a roof. Climbing it is the high point of a bog walk here: below you spreads a beautiful landscape of countless pools. The boardwalk up to the tower is suitable for wheelchairs and prams, and a wider ramp gives access to the first platform. The trail is part of the long-distance Oandu–Aegviidu–Ikla route. Remember that the bog, wet as it is, burns easily: a spark smouldering in the peat can start a large fire.
