The Sõõriksoo Nature Trail passes through several types of bog landscape, including drained bog woodland and a bog with old peat-cutting pits. Animal and bird tracks add to the natural scenery. The varied landscapes make the trail interesting if you want to discover bogs not just as a uniform expanse, but in their different forms.

The 700-metre boardwalk is designed for wheelchairs and strollers. Its length sets it apart from the 27-kilometre Järvi–Aegviidu hiking trail. The Sõõriksoo Trail is right next to Aegviidu railway station and can be reached by train; it is also near the Aegviidu Visitor Centre. This lets you take both the landscape and the trail’s accessibility into account when planning your visit.

The Järvi–Aegviidu hiking trail’s 27-kilometre length and three kilometres of wooden boardwalks provide specific details to help you plan your route. The trail can be accessed from the RMK Aegviidu Visitor Centre. It also has several camping areas and fire pits. This means you can consider not only the trail length but also details about the available facilities when making your own plans.

Two specific details are available for cycling: the 10-kilometre Aegviidu–Nelijärve–Jäneda Presidendirada starts near Aegviidu railway station and is marked with blue arrows and signposts. The paved Aegviidu–Nelijärve–Jäneda cycle path is 12 kilometres long.

Another activity is Aegviidu Disc Golf Park. It has nine baskets and is suitable for beginners. If you would like to include disc golf alongside hiking or cycling, this specific information about its suitability is a helpful guide.

The RMK Aegviidu Visitor Centre is in the heart of Aegviidu, surrounded by the forests and lakes of Kõrvemaa. It offers exhibitions, nature films and nature education programmes. The centre also provides information about leisure activities in the surrounding area and the RMK hiking trails that branch off here. This means you can explore nature information, educational activities and hiking trail guidance together at one named location.

The railway is also part of the area’s history. Aegviidu’s locomotive depot was built in 1870 as part of the railway complex. Today, it houses a hiking and information centre where you can book hikes. Aegviidu Aleksander Church was known as the Aegviidu Forest Chapel; the chapel was consecrated on 6 December 1896. Together, the depot and the church represent different aspects of local history: the railway complex and the history of the local church.
