Where to go

Kütioru short hiking trail (2.8 km)

 
Võru County, Haanja Nature Park

Instead of the longer hiking trail of Kütioru (9.6 km), it is possible to choose the shorter trail, which is about 2.8 km long, indicated with white colour marks. The trail starts at the parking area near Kütiorg Alpine Skiing Centre and leads to the bottom of the valley first. The first half of the trail is the same as the beginning of the 9.6 km hiking trail. There are sections with steep slopes which can be slippery in wet weather.
Kütiorg, the grandest primeval valley in Estonia, is up to 70 metres deep. The valley is characterised by steep slopes and a relatively narrow bottom (250-600 m). Its slopes are intersected by numerous gullies, called 'tsoris' in the local dialect, which are the largest ones in Estonia. The main sight of Kütioru short hiking trail is the deep valley called Suurtsori.
