Viru Bog Snowshoe Experience Hike – with a Nature Guide

A Viru Bog snowshoe discovery hike takes you where the boardwalk doesn’t always reach — right into the heart of pools and quaking bog in Lahemaa National Park. (Soft gym.)

What to expect

• We move on snowshoes and experience the bog with all our senses.

• We stop by a bog pool/lake and the observation tower.

• We explore how bogs form and develop, get to know bog plants, and look for animal tracks.

• We take a closer look at sphagnum moss and discuss whether peat is renewable or non-renewable.

Practical

• Duration: 3–4 h

• Distance: 4–5 km (depending on pace)

• Suitable from: age 9+

• Included: snowshoes + hike leader/nature guide
  A great choice for families, friends, school groups, or teams. Runs by pre-booking.

Break
We brew tea and have a small snack. In season, the brave can also swim in a bog pool.
