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.
The 9.6 km trail starts at the parking area near Kütioru Alpine Skiing Centre. The trail is varied and the terrain is quite steep and difficult.
