Raised bogs of Estonia

Raised bog landscapes in Estonia are often difficult to access. Difficult to find your way through wet areas and wrong step might even cost your life. But fortunatly some bogs have wooden paths that make easy access possible and bogshoes are good way to go off-track.

Here are some shots of Aela- Viirika raised bog. It’s about 1300 ha and includes several wetland types.
