Top 3 Estonian Bogs to Visit in Autumn
Autumn is just around the corner, bringing with it a vibrant, colorful season that transforms nature into a picturesque landscape, making hiking even more enjoyable than in summer. One of the best places to enjoy the autumn scenery is in the bogs, and the best way to experience a bog is on bogshoes.
Bogshoes allow you to traverse wet and soft areas that are usually inaccessible, giving you the chance to experience the peace and tranquility of nature and discover places you wouldn’t normally reach. Bogshoeing is perfect for nature lovers as well as those who simply want to escape daily routines and recharge in the fresh air.
Autumn is a time when the bog landscape becomes exceptionally charming. The blooming heather brings pinkish-purple patches to the bog. Cranberries ripen during this time of year, adding a touch of red to the peat moss. You can pick these berries with your own hands and eat them right away.
