Itinerary description
Vasenieki mire is a raised bog, located in the Sitkli Mires Nature Reserve. The trail is loop-type, mostly layed down of wooden boarwalk with a short distance on a well-trodden pathway off the wooden boardwalk. Here are present both, a natural bog, full of life, and a degradated bog landscape, which can be observed in the start of the trail when walking along the draining-ditches, which once have been diggen up to prepare the bog for peat extraction, now blocked up to restore the proper water conditions. The boardwalk stretches along beautiful, small bog lakes, through the forest, passes the beaver dam, then stops, where the trail turns on a short-distance path off the boardwalk and goes along the ditch until reaches the boardwalk again to return back to the start of the trail. The watching tower and a resting area in the middle of the trail, which are now closed for the construction period, are going to be reinstalled soon again.
