The name Meiekõrve refers to 'our high ground' — the edge of the bog, where a natural forest community has remained undisturbed. The trail is calmer than the one at Riisa, with considerably fewer visitors.
The Meiekõrve Trail showcases the variety of Soomaa's forests. The trail runs through swamp forests, pine stands along the edge of the bog, and deciduous forests on the riverbank.
