Poruni hiking trail (5 km)

Ida-Viru County, Alutaguse National Park
Dear Visitor,
From Kuningaküla to the parking area along the Narva River, a major road renovation is taking place over a distance of 3.5 km. If possible, avoid traveling on this section of the road by vehicle, as there may be delays due to the construction work, and there may be difficulties for low-clearance vehicles. The work is scheduled to be completed by September 2024.
We hope for your understanding!
The 10 km (back and forth) Poruni hiking trail runs along the banks of the Poruni River to the Narva River and returns to the starting point from there. 12 information boards have been placed along the trail. They introduce the nature of the region, the floodplain forest, native broad-leaved forest, draw attention to the geological formations sometimes exposed on the banks of the river and the military history that characterizes the region.
Poruni hiking trail is marked with blue painted rectangles on trees and metal signposts.

Driving directions
Drive 36 km on Jõhvi–Vasknarva road, turn left (at the sign to the Poruni hiking trail).

Walk about 400 m forward and find the start of the Poruni hiking trail on the left. 
NB! When driving from Narva direction,  Google Maps offers a trip trough Auvere, which is a wrong way. The only way to access the hiking trail is from Jõhvi–Vasknarva road.
