Lake Saare study trail (3.5 km)

Due to the bad road conditions in spring (the road is sometimes impassable), please leave the car by the Jõgeva-Palamuse-Saare road.
You can start the 3.5 km trail, which introduces different forest communities, at the parking area at the start of the trail, or at Sihi or Papi campfire sites. The trail runs along forest surface paths, forest rides, boardwalk and footpaths across a varied terrain. The trail passes the Manteuffel family’s burial and an environmental monitoring station. It offers an interesting and educational walk for visitors of all ages.
