Lemmjõe forest study trail (5.8 km)
Võimalused
- Due to the meadow maintenance work and big amount of precipitation, the northern branch of the trail has become impassable.
- The Sandra (Kuusekäara) bridge at the beginning of the trail is under repair until the end of the summer. Passage is guaranteed with a width of one lane. The trail parking lot is used to store equipment and materials necessary for the construction of the bridge, which makes parking difficult.
- The Kildu-Oksa-Tõramaa road leading to the visitor attraction is muddy in spring and very difficult to pass!
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.
