Nigula Nature Reserve
Nigula looduskaitseala
One of Estonia's earliest bog reserves, with wooden boardwalks leading to a bog lake and islands, and a top spot for birdwatching.
Nigula Nature Reserve lies about 45 km south of Pärnu, near the Latvian border. Its core is a large raised bog, with Nigula Lake and several peat islands. A boardwalk of about 3.5 km runs from the visitor area to a viewing tower by the lake, passing sphagnum moss, dwarf pines and carnivorous plants. In autumn, flocks of common cranes and geese often stop over. Admission is free, but you need a car to get there. Stay on the narrow boardwalk and do not leave it.
