Dear visitor!
THE TILLEORU TRAIL ROUTE AND LENGTH HAVE CHANGED. Please check the map at the beginning of the trail and follow the directional signage in nature. Changes in virtual map applications may take some time.
• Be cautious in spruce forests affected by bark beetles – avoid the trail during strong winds, as damaged trees are at risk of breaking.
• If you notice any obstacles (fallen trees, etc.) on RMK sites or access roads, please report them by email to loodusegakoos@rmk.ee

The loop hiking trail begins near the Ahja River bridge on the old Tartu-Võru highway and runs along the river's left bank, through the floodplain and forests, up to the Merioone spring. From there, stairs lead up the valley slope, and the trail continues along a forest path until it loops back.
