The Hupassaare bog is a raised bog on the southern edge of Soomaa National Park, distinguished by an exceptionally long boardwalk — running nearly 3 km, it carries you deep into the bog, where not a single landmark is in sight.
The Hupassaare Bog Trail leads into the heart of Soomaa's most remote bog. The trail ends at the edge of an open expanse of bog, overlooking the small Hupassaare bog lake.
