The 3.6 km long Vallamae hiking trail runs straight from its foot to its top. Vallamagi is the second highest hill in Estonia, covered with primeval forests and with very steep slopes, it is 303.9 m above sea level. However, if we take the 84 metres from its foot to its top, we can say that it is the highest hill in Estonia by its relative height. Its slopes are very steep in some places (slanting 35 to 40 degrees). Vallamae forests have been the reserve of fir gene pools since 1992.At foot of the hill there is a hikers’ cabin where you can take a rest and enjoy the primeval landscape (only by prior reservations; to make a reservation, please call the RMK centre at +372 628 1532).

Luhasoo Nature Trail

The Luhasoo nature study trail is 4.5 km long and partly covered with wooden path. On the bog island midway through your journey there is a small cabin in the forest where you can spend the night. Hiking in the flat landscape in Luhasoo is a good alternative to the hilly landscape typical of Voru County; the quietness and stillness of the bog allow you to take a break from the noise of big cities and your daily chores. Luhasoo hiking trail is marked.

The 3.5 km Ahijarve nature study trail starts at Karula Nature Centre, where there is a nice playground for children and a nature trail. The network of roads around Lake Ahijarv was once very dense and different from what we can see now. Ahijarve nature trail will take you to roads once used by many people and you can imagine what they looked like: a road on the pasture, Ahijarve shore path, footpath, forest roads, winter roads, horse roads. The southern part of Ahijarve area is covered with Perajarve-Labassaare forests. Standing on the shore of the lake, you can see the southernmost tops of the Karula Upland – Lossi, Korgemagi and Plaagi hill to the west across the lake.
