Leina: Cross-country skiing, cycling trails and toboggan hill in Jõulumäe

• In the village of Leina, Jõulumäe’s natural cross-country ski trails offer routes of 3 km, 5 km, 7.5 km and 10 km.
• The trails pass through gently hilly terrain and are marked at junctions with permanently installed colour-coded posts and directional signs.
• Two permanently marked mountain-bike routes start at the main stadium in Jõulumäe.
• The longest hiking trail in the Jõulumäe Sports Centre leads to the Rannametsa-Tolkuse nature trail.

The four route lengths mentioned provide a clear basis for planning your day. You can choose between 3 km, 5 km, 7.5 km and 10 km, without the trails being limited to a single distance. The gently hilly terrain is an important distinction from a completely flat route. At junctions, permanently installed colour-coded posts and directional signs help with orientation. Those wishing to compare different route lengths can therefore choose Leina based on how much space cross-country skiing should take up in their travel plans.

Even outside the cross-country skiing season, Jõulumäe offers specific options for a cycling or walking holiday. Two permanently marked mountain-bike routes start at the main stadium and pass through hilly woodland. In addition, a five-metre-wide paved cycling path runs through Jõulumäe’s pine forest. For planning a hike, the longest trail in the Jõulumäe Sports Centre is particularly relevant because it leads to the Rannametsa-Tolkuse nature trail. These options appeal to different preferences: mountain-bike routes for a more sporting option, the paved cycling path for another type of cycling, and the hiking trail for a longer walking route.

The Jõulumäe toboggan hill is divided into three downhill slopes. Two of them are gentler and intended for smaller children, while a steeper slope is reserved for more experienced tobogganers. The toboggan hill also has an artificial-snow slope that is illuminated in the evening. This allows families to decide before their trip whether a gentle slope for younger children or a steeper descent for more experienced tobogganers is of greater interest. The different slopes make it possible to take the experience and age of members of the group into account when planning the activity, without arranging the same descent for everyone.

Regional bus route 76 runs daily from Pärnu Bus Station to a stop at the entrance to the Jõulumäe Recreation and Sports Centre. If you are planning to travel without your own vehicle, you can take this connection into account when choosing your destination and planning your day.
