Järvesoo and Savalduma Bog snowshoe hike for nature enthusiasts

The bog shoe hike in Järvesoo and Savalduma Bog is a journey for those who want to visit the bog in an eco-friendly way.

With bog shoes, we move to places where the boardwalk does not lead and learn to notice how the bog works: its stages of development, bog life, and species' relationships with the environment. We observe fascinating "sinkholes" – places where the bog seems to swallow water – and discuss why this is important for the entire area's ecology.

During the hike, we read signs: tracks, plants, moss, water bodies, and bird sounds. If someone asks, "Is this a bear track?" we answer honestly and with a smile. We learn why walking in the bog is done in a dispersed manner, how bog shoes reduce trampling on the bog, and the difference between a bog pool, a bog lake, and a bog mound.

During the break, we brew tea from bog water and natural plants. The hike is suitable for families, groups of friends, and teams.

Important: We have joined the "Best Practices in Bog Shoe Tourism", and therefore, bog shoe hikes do not take place from April 23rd to June 24th.
