Foot-and-mouth, a severe animal disease, is currently circulating in Europe and also poses a threat to animals in Estonia. Your help is needed to prevent animals here – sheep, cattle, goats, and other ungulates – from becoming infected. We ask that you please follow some important recommendations.
Please be careful when walking on the trail, as there may be broken boards. Reconstruction of the study trail is planned. During heavy rainfall and high water levels in the Emajõgi River, some sections of the trail may be difficult to pass.
The Emajõgi River study trail starts by Kantsi Tavern and forms a loop on the river floodplain, across grassland in sedge fen and through a bog birch grove.
