Water trip with a boat<\/h2><\/div>

From April 1 to October 31.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Hike in the footsteps of wild animals<\/h2><\/div>

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.<\/p>\n

The hike takes place near Kohtla-N\u00f5mme in areas with different reliefs: open-cast mine, forest, and Hiiesoo peat field. The larger ungulates and predators of our forests enjoy a peaceful refuge in these places.<\/p>\n

Start and end of the hike: the parking lot of the Estonian Mining Museum<\/p>\n

Duration:<\/b> 2-3 h
\nDistance:<\/b><\/span> 8-10 km<\/span><\/p>\n

Itinerary:<\/b> Estonian Mining Museum car park – Hiiesoo – Aidu open-cast mine reclaimed areas – Mining Museum car park. The route may change depending on weather conditions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The price includes:<\/b> tour guide service and the gaiters to protect against snow.<\/p>\n

Clothing:<\/b> warm and comfortable for hiking in nature. Hiking boots.<\/p>\n

Snowshoe trip in Hiiesoo<\/h2><\/div>

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.<\/p>\n

With easy access and plenty of floating mats, the bog offers both challenges and experiences, even with snowshoes.<\/p>\n

Meeting with the tour guide at the Estonian Mining Museum.<\/p>\n

Distance:<\/b> approx. 4-6 km
\nThe price includes:<\/b> tour guide service, snowshoes.
\nClothing: <\/b>comfortable, sporty, tall rubber boots. The changing weather conditions in Estonia must be taken into account.<\/span><\/p>\n

Night-time hike in the Kohtla-N\u00f5mme Alps<\/h2><\/div>

In the dark, everything is different. The distances lengthen, the sense of direction decreases, the sounds amplify and the senses become more alert! You don’t even have to go far from the Mining Museum to experience a rocky and mountain-like adventure. In 2.5 hours (or less if desired), we will wander in the nearby hills with the headlamps and listen to what times they remind us of.<\/p>\n
