For Visitors

The Peipsiveere Nature Reserve has been created in order to protect the local nature. In Emajõe Study Trail (length 3 km) you can enjoy the nature of riverbank Emajõgi and wet forrest. The trail starts from the Emajõe- Suursoo Nature Centre, wanders around the riverfront flood plain, on the bog meadows with cane turfs and passes through a bog birch shrub. The study trail is influenced by the high water of the river, so during the flood it's not passable. The trail is partly passable with wheelchairs.

Emajõe-Suursoo Nature Center is nowadays operated by Luunja municipality. The center is open on Sunday's from 12- 16 PM. To visit or rent it in other times please contact: Tiia Evert, tel +372 55 521 712, e-mail: kantsi@luunja.ee.
