Bogshoeing

Bogshoe tours in beautiful Estonian bogs

Snowshoe or bog-shoe hikes are suitable for anyone who like a little physical movement, lots of beautiful natural views and interesting knowledge about bog life and nature.

Snowshoes are special wide mesh devices attached to shoes, which are designed to carry the hiker over soft, wet and marshy ground or snow. Snowshoes intended for hiking in bogs are light. Your feet will not tire too quickly. It is nice to get balance and support from a hiking pole.

Before the bog trip, the hiking guide will tell you how to put on snowshoes and how to move around in them skillfully. Then we will head out to explore the bog and nature together.

Snowshoe hikes take place in autumn, winter and spring. From St. George's Day to Midsummer's Day (23.04-24.06) we will not go out on snowshoes, as it is the nesting season for birds. We respect the good practice of snowshoe hiking and the nesting season.

What is a snowshoe or bogshoe tour?

A snowshoe or bogshoe tour is suitable for everyone from 7...8 years of age. These provide new and exciting knowledge about the nature, formation, flora and fauna of bogs. Snowshoe hikes take you to the most exciting places to live in the bog – bog islands, ravines, bog lakes, etc.

In autumn, freshly picked cranberries await you in the bog, which you can immediately put in your mouth or pick up for yourself, foggy mornings and reddish hues.

In winter, we walk along snowfields, look for animal/bird tracks in the snow and find out who is currently roaming around here.

Spring is the time of flowering in the bog and also the wettest time. In spring, you will find nature emerging and water sloshing under the snow.

In summer, you can go swimming in bog lakes and ponds.

The snowshoe hike begins with a group meeting on the edge of the bog, usually at a campfire site or in a parking lot. Then we get to know the hike guide and the group members – we make friends. Then we put on our snowshoes, grab our walking poles and head out on the hike. The duration of the hike is preferably 2-3 hours. This creates a pleasant feeling and fills you with new knowledge. The snowshoe hike is structured so that it is as exciting and varied as possible. For those seeking adventure and excitement, we recommend a snowshoe hike at sunrise or in the evening; if necessary, we will provide you with headlamps.

A forest restaurant or a light picnic lunch will make the snowshoe hike even more enjoyable and delicious. If you wish, we can also help you find suitable accommodation on the edge of the bog or elsewhere in the hiking area.

We like challenges. You can leave the organization of the event (hike organization, catering, accommodation) to us. We know the best accommodations in the area and the providers of the most delicious food.
