This self-guided, one-day canoe trip allows you to pause along the way and explore two walking trails near the river. These trails showcase the typical landscapes of Soomaa National Park, including alluvial forests (Lemmjõe Keelemetsa Nature Trail), floodplain meadows, and Estonia’s largest peat bog (Ingatsi Nature Trail).
