Guided Snowshoe Hike in Koitjärve Bog (with a Nature Guide)
Have you ever heard real silence in a bog? A snowshoe hike in Koitjärve Bog takes you to views along the bog pools and through different stages of bog development — places you wouldn’t want to enter in regular boots.
What we do on the hike
-
we walk on snowshoes and learn how to move in a bog so that nature stays a friend
-
we stop by a bog pool/lake and explore how bogs form and develop
-
we look for animal activity signs and learn to read the bog’s “clues”
-
we examine sphagnum moss and discuss whether peat is a renewable or non-renewable resource
-
for the brave (and if conditions allow): a quick dip in a bog pool
Break
We brew tea on site and have a snack — because somehow everything tastes better in a bog.
Who it’s for
Families, friend groups, teams (and a polite four-legged companion). The hike is family-friendly and pet-friendly.
Runs by pre-booking. Location: Koitjärve Forest District (Kuusalu Parish, Harju County). The hike is linked with the EUROPARC direction and the Lahemaa National Park area.
