Kütioru hiking trail (9.6 km)
Võru County, Haanja Nature Park
Part of the trail runs through private land, where there are also dogs (moving freely).
The 9.6 km trail starts at the parking area near Kütioru Alpine Skiing Centre. The trail is varied and the terrain is quite steep and difficult. This is why you should allow 4-5 hours to go through this trail. The trail has been prepared so that the hiker gets the best possible overview of Estonia’s largest and mightiest primeval valley – the Kütiorg, with former mill sites and other objects of cultural heritage. In the forests on the slopes of the Kütiorg valley there are spruce forests that are more than a century old and extraordinarily big and tall aspens.
