Väike Väerada

The 3 km hiking trail that starts near Elva railway station and ends at Tartumaa Health Sports Center is one of the most popular hiking paths in the area!

What makes the trail special are the wooden sculptures inspired by Estonian fairy tales, designed by local artists. The small but mighty Väerada has a healing effect on both mental and physical health.

This nature trail is suitable for hikers of all ages and can be traversed year-round. The attractive sculptures also serve as trail markers, indicating the direction of the path. The forest trail features several rest spots and exciting attractions for children. The trail is mostly accessible with a stroller.

An information leaflet about the Väike Väerada can be found at the main building of the center, and it is also possible to book a hiking guide.

You can also book a guide for the Väike Väerada hikes, who can share fascinating stories about the sculptures and their meanings! To organize a guided hike, contact the Health Sports Center.
