The Loosalu–Paluküla nature trail is a hidden gem in Rapla County, combining an exquisite bog landscape, Estonia’s largest bog lake, and views from the highest peak in Western Estonia.
The boardwalk leads through the bog to Loosalu Lake, and then the path continues between forests and hills. Hiking on the trail offers an opportunity to experience the silence of nature and listen to the natural rhythm of the bog and forest. The round-trip journey of approximately 15 km offers ample time to enjoy expansive views and hidden natural moments. The marked trail connects the highest peak in Western Estonia, Hiiemäe (106 m), and the Loosalu bog island. Reserve 4–5 hours for hiking, wear weather-appropriate clothing, and let the bog landscape completely enchant you. At the Loosalu end of the hiking trail, there is a campfire site and picnic area, with firewood and a dry toilet available.
The Loosalu–Paluküla hiking trail is an ideal destination for those seeking peace, inspiration, and the beauty of authentic Estonian landscapes. Come and let Rapla County fill you with new energy.
