Itinerary description
Rakvere Oak Grove Trail, outside the city centre, is a good example for oak trees which are 150–220 years old. Along the trail you will see a wide variety of mosses, plants and trees, and hear and see many birds. The trail will also take you by the cemetery for German soldiers and the ‘Okaskroon’ (Thorn Crown) memorial to those deported to Siberia by Soviet regime. The protected area has preserved several hundred years old oak trees.
The trail at some points is quite narrow – 80–90 cm, but mostly it is wide enough for strollers. Not accessible for wheelchairs. A few slopes or obstacles might require some effort for seniors.
