Hüpassaare study trail (4.4 km)
Viljandi County, Soomaa National Park
The boardwalk is partly in poor condition. Be careful, please!
The first part of the trail (~1 km) goes through drained peatland forest. The drained peatland forest has formed from a swamp as a result of drainage. Next, the ground starts to rise gradually, and you arrive at the edge of Kuresoo raised bog. Mires are wetlands in which plant remains are partly undegraded and deposited as peat. The wetland landscape of Kuresoo is varied. At the end of the trail there is the Mart Saar museum.
