Bog shoeing in Kakerdaja bog

The hike. We begin out journey at the Nokko bonfire site and take our bog shoeing hike up to the great bog lake in the middle of Kakerdaja bog. The route winds around hags and quaking bogs to the bog lake and back. The hike can be ended with a cosy meal by the bonfire.

The bog. Kakerdaja is a legendary bog. The name (Estonian for 'tatterer') comes from the Black-throated Loon who is an artful diver but is not good at walking. Kakerdaja is one of the most well-known bogs of Northern Estonia due to its beauty and accessibility. The bog, located nearly 70 km from Tallinn, can provide the most pure bog experience.

Hikes are held all year round.

Duration: 2 to 3 hours, 4 to 5 km in length
