TOURBIÈRES DE PÄÄSKÜLA

You don't have time to go to Lahemaa National Park, but you still want to visit a peat bog (it's almost compulsory when traveling in Estonia)? Then head for the Nõmme district, a veritable village within the city. A 4 km hiking trail through pine and birch woods will take you to the Pääsküla peat bogs, a concentrate of local nature. Don't miss the observation tower for a bird's-eye view of the trees, and the stilted trail that crosses the peat bog itself. Don't forget your mosquito repellent in summer!
