The bogs are places very dear to all Estonians and have been part of our culture for centuries. Therefore one mustn’t leave Estonia before visiting a bog. The bog-shoe hiking in a bog takes you to places what otherwise would be inaccessible. We hike around the bog pools, admire the wildlife, climb the watch-tower and listen to mysterious stories and legends our tour guides tell about the bogs. Bog-shoe hike is doable all year round and offers different discoveries every season. Have an unforgettable adventure in Estonia and come to a bog-shoe hike in the picturesque Kõnnu Suursoo.

In wintertime, we organize the same tour as a snow-shoe hiking tour.

The bog-shoe walk with Marilin in Lahemaa National Park was absolutely wonderful! 🌿 It wasn’t just a stroll through the moor – it was an experience that truly touched us. The calm, the unique atmosphere, and the fascinating stories made the place come alive.
With her warm, open personality and genuine passion for what she does, Merelin creates an instant connection – both to nature and to herself as a person. The lovely picnic, the beautiful photos, and the whole atmosphere were just perfect. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect day with a wonderful guide! It was so easy to schedule this tour. Marilin was punctual, prepared, and very knowledgeable. She shared a lot of information about the bog and the natural areas we visited. She also gave us a very good orientation to Estonia and answered all of our questions. A definite highlight of our trip.

We really enjoyed exploring the bog landscapes with our fantastic guide Keidi. We did this tour in the snow which made it extra magical. Keidi shared her knowledge of the area and it was an experience we simply couldn’t have had without a guide. Definitely recommend if you’re staying in Tallinn and want to see a little more of Estonia outside the city.
