VisitEstonia has produced a brochure introducing Estonia’s national parks:
Haapsalu has been awarded the title of a Child Friendly City – the various playgrounds in the town are the proof of that. The playground at Posti Street is in the small park right next to the building of Haapsalu Town Government. The children can either climb, swing or play in the sandbox; the parents can sit comfortably on a bench and watch their children.
The first part of the trail is a dirt road that runs along the high-voltage power line. The track then reaches the Marimetsa Brook and leads to the rest area along the banks of the brook. From there, a boardwalk will take you to Marimetsa Bog. There is a viewing tower at the end of the trail (7.6 metres high).
In Marimetsa Bog, you will see a fen, a transition bog, a raised bog, and a number of different birds and plants.
The length of the trail is 9 kilometres of which 2 × 2 kilometres is a boardwalk. You should plan 4–5 hours for the hike. The trail is wet at places – make sure to bring your rubber boots.
There is a dry toilet on the track, benches for resting, and an information board with a map and a scheme of the trail.
You can rent children’s bikes, mountain bikes, city bikes and trekking bikes from the Rattad Vabaaeg shop. Additionally, we also have safety equipment and helmets. The youngest members of the family can also enjoy a bike ride – we have children’s bike seats for them. If your bike breaks down, we can fix it for you! We also offer accommodation in a room and on the camping side and you can come here with a camper van. We rent bikes for groups.
With more than 20 years of experience in bike rental, we can find the right rental bike for you.
