Where to go

Luhasoo study trail (5 km)

 
Võru County, Haanja-Karula Recreation Area
Luhasoo, the only mire protection area in Võru County, is interesting because all the stages of bog formation can be seen here from fens to raised bogs. The study trail in Luhasoo is 5 km long; in its wet parts in the fen and bog there is a boardwalk. The trail passes by a bog lake and leads to a mineral soil island with a nice forest hut on it. Interesting information about wildlife is available on information boards in Estonian and English.
