RMK handles the organisation of visits at 13 recreational areas of the state forest, 5 national parks and almost 40 other conservation units across Estonia. “Currently, almost 2000 km of hiking trails, 309 covered fire places and 41 camping areas have been built for visitors,” said Marge Rammo, Head of The Nature Management Department, when introducing the possibilities. In addition, RMK provides accommodation in 24 huts and 18 forest houses.

In order to assist nature visitors, all RMK information points are open from May 15 to September 15, every weekday from 10.00-18.00. The Information points provide advice and informative materials for planning a nature holiday that is full of experiences. In total, there are 27 information points across Estonia, with three additional points established last year – in Viimsi near Tallinn, in Tooma in Jõgeva County and in Otepää.

You can also prepare for your trip by using the comprehensive search system on the RMK webpage at www.rmk.ee/teemad/looduses-liikujale

Last year, RMK’s information points were visited almost 60,000 times. In order to provide the opportunities for spending time in nature under the common right of access and promote nature awareness of people, RMK spent EUR 4.1 million in 2010. This year the sum will be EUR 6.3 million, of which EUR 2 million will come from the European Regional Development Fund.
