View on map

The dunes of Rannametsa have always been a popular place among hikers.
It includes a nature and study trail with information boards in order to better introduce the Luitemaa Nature Reserve to visitors. The circular trail, which partly runs on a boardwalk, passes through the pine forest on the dunes and Tolkuse bog and leads to the largest bog-pool of the bog. The trail includes several points of interest, bog lakes, and rest spots.
Next to the trail, there is an 18-metre-high observation tower on the highest dune in Estonia, Tornimägi, which provides a magnificent view of Tolkuse bog and Pärnu Bay.

Beautiful small nature trail

About 2,5 km long and it took 1 hour. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful hiking trails I have visited. Beautiful scenery also in April.

Beautiful nature.
