A gift from RMK
RMK’s gift for Estonia’s 100th anniversary includes a network of hiking trails, which spans across the entire country, as well as several engaging add-ons. The entire solution, which is bound to bring joy to all hikers on our trail in 2018, will consist of:
- Oandu-Aegviidu-Ikla 377 km
- Peraküla-Aegviidu-Ähijärve 815 km
- NEW BRANCH TO BE COMPLETED: Penijõe-Aegviidu-Kauksi 608 km (the additional Penijõe-Aegviidu-Kauksi trail heading from West to East is currently being marked)
100 cultural objectsTo inform hikers of exciting persons and events in Estonian history, RMK is going to highlight 100 cultural objects along the trail. We believe that a hike laced with interesting facts will help to further emphasise the importance of Estonian forests, as well as their role in our cultural history, while also being entertaining. These boards will be installed into nature by the year of the anniversary. |
The great group hike
A group hike involving all branches of the hiking trail will be organized in the festive anniversary year of 2018. The hike is organized by RMK and will involve groups of hikers moving toward the hiking capital of Aegviidu along all the branches of the trail. These groups, led by a guide, will set out on their journey on 6 August. Their schedules will be coordinated so that they will all reach Aegviidu at the same time, on 25 August. If you wish to keep yourself informed about the event, join our newsletter.
Congratulations to Estonia! Congratulations to the state forest!
Estonian state has managed its forests since its birth. The Estonian National Forest Government began its operation on 13 November 1918 – this serves to acknowledge that good forestry practices have been observed in Estonia for as many as 100 years.
