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 hiking trail starts near the old Tartu-Võru road bridge and goes along the left riverbank on the floodplain through forest up to Merioone spring.
