From Tallinn: Jägala Waterfall and Bog Walk Tour

5.0 (4 verified reviews)

Before you book

  • Jägala waterfall lies outside the national park, on the road to Lahemaa; only the Viru bog part of the trip is in the park.
  • Bog shoes cost extra; request them from the operator. Viru bog is boardwalk-only, so ask the operator where the bog shoes are used.
  • From 23 April to 24 June, bog-shoeing in protected bogs needs the manager's permission, so ask about bog shoes if your date falls in those weeks.
  • Not suitable for wheelchair users. Food and drinks are not included.
  • Meet at the Tallinn Tourist Information Centre, Niguliste 2; the trip returns there after about three and a half hours.
