Lemmjõe forest study trail (5.8 km)
Viljandi County, Soomaa National Park
Due to heavy rains and meadow management, the northern part of the trail has become impassable.
The trail goes along the bank of the Raudna River up to the place where the Raudna and Lemmjõgi rivers join. Next the trail runs along the bank of the Lemmjõgi River and ends at Kuusekäära again. The “keelemets” is an often flooded floodplain forest by the Lemmjõgi River. Traces of beaver activity can be seen near the study trail.
