The Kakerdaja nature trail is the most important hiking trail in the Kõrvemaa Landscape Conservation Area, crossing the Kakerdaja bog on a boardwalk. It is one of the most beautiful bog trails in Estonia, where open bog pools mirror the sky.
The entire trail runs on a boardwalk — your feet stay dry. The section beside the wind-exposed bog pools is the windiest.
Seasonal access
The bog is at its most dramatic in spring and during the autumn leaf fall. In winter the snow-covered bog offers a unique sight.
