The best overview of the waterways of the Aidu open-cast mine is, of course, along the water. With our large and stable boat, you can enjoy wonderful views and fly above the water. This is how our visitors have described their emotions.

During the trip, you can see long water canals, a light-blue-green lagoon, the cliffs of Aidu, and, of course, the largest culvert, which is laid out under the road just to get through by boat.

The best time to study game activity and movement are during the winter months with snow, if the traces are visible. During this time, most animals also are on heat, which makes them move more as they are looking for a companion. It is even better to track the game with a local hunter.

According to the name of Hiiesoo, it can be assumed that it is a sacred place for old Estonians. Unfortunately, there has been active peat mining in the western part of the bog and all the remaining bog is registered as an active reservoir. Fortunately, it has been found that the use of the Hiiesoo reserve is not very practical.

With easy access and plenty of floating mats, the bog offers both challenges and experiences, even with snowshoes.
