Tour de Rõuge–Viitina–Haanja
A Two-Day Hike Through the Unique Landscapes of Haanja Nature Park
This hike takes you through the beautiful and varied landscapes of Haanja Nature Park – over soft hills, through wild forests, along steep valley edges and winding village roads. Along the way, you’ll meet local people, hear stories from the area, and end the day with a relaxing visit to a traditional Estonian sauna. It’s more than just a hike – it’s a full countryside experience.
