Käsmu cycling trail (11.6 km)
Lääne-Viru County, Lahemaa National Park
The rocky beaches force bikers into the forests on the peninsula—you can catch glimpses of the sea on the Palganeem cape and between Kõrgekalda and Palganeem, Järvekael and on the trail between the lake and the sea. The trail is perfect for cyclists who wish to take a break from civilisation and cars rushing past. The total length of the trail, including the section back and forth to Palganeem cape, is 16 km.
