The trail leads to the sandy dunes covered with pine trees, and reaches Tornimäe, where there is a 21.57-meter-high observation tower. The tower offers a magnificent view of the Häädemeeeste coastal meadow and Pärnu Bay on one side, and the Tolkuse bog on the other. From Tornimäe, the trail descends to Tolkuse bog. The boardwalk leads to the largest pool in the bog. From the bog, the trail returns to the starting point. PS! Back and forth from the parking lot to the bog pool is the trail suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
