The Kuuraniidu nature trail is reaching the end of its life cycle, parts of the boardwalk have decayed. The old trees surrounding the trail are making way for the next forest generation. Please be careful while using the trail!
The boardwalk goes through ancient drained peatland forest and back to the starting point. The attractions of the trail are the enormous mighty aspens, which have weathered storms and time. There is a campfire site and camping area at the beginning of the trail. The Kuuraniidu forest has been formed from swamp forest as a result of drainage. The forest can be dangerous in strong winds due to falling trees!
