The trail passes through the core of Lahemaa's oldest protected forest. The link between the gardens of Sagadi Manor and the Oandu old-growth woods was a walking path regularly used by the local manor lord in the 19th century.

The Sagadi-Oandu Forest Tales Trail is a 12 km one-way hiking route linking Sagadi Manor with the Oandu old-growth forest trail. Along the way, hikers encounter information points inspired by forest tales and old spruce forests where trees more than 200 years old rise overhead.

Running along forest tracks, the trail is mostly dry, but wet patches can appear in the valley sections after rain. Transport between Sagadi and Oandu is needed at the start or end.
