Just an hour away from Tallinn, Jussi hiking trail is another great choice for hiking in Estonia near Tallinn. Although a popular Estonian hiking route, its definitely not as popular as Viru Bog and provides more privacy for the lonely hiker. Starting at the Koersilla car park near Soodla river, its circular nature trail offers a real hiking experience with over 8 km of ground to cover while passing through a changing landscape and forests with the heather heath and various stage- and mound bumps.
It runs up and down along the oases by the Jussi lakes and reaches the Jussi moor, which is a unique tundra-like natural attraction in Estonia. The oases by the lakes offer a beautiful view of the Jussi lakes and you can also rest or camp on the sandy northern shore of lake Väinjärv.
One of the most memorable parts of the hiking trail, next to the beautiful Jussi lakes, is the heather moor, which is a great sightseeing opportunity unique to Põhja-Kõrvemaa. Jussi hiking trail is a great area for hiking or just being in nature in any season.

A great choice for a day hike from Tallinn, Viru Bog is by far one of the most popular trails in Estonia, expanding over an area of 235 acres, including two boardwalk trails from 3-6 km with recreational and observation platforms along the trail. In the middle of the trail is a large observation tower which overlooks the entire bog, although a relatively small bog, it represents everything a moor has to offer, from thick peatlands and bogs to burrows and pools.
The boardwalk is wide enough to be accessible by a wheelchair and most of the lower lever platforms also. The best time to visit Viru bog is in the middle of the week and preferably during a sunrise or a sunset and if it's warm enough you should consider taking a swim in a bog pool. Getting out of the pool might be tricky though, so someone to help you out is a plus, but just imagine...taking a swim in a bog pool, in total silence, in the morning mist during a sunrise. While Estonian nature and wildlife are quite diverse, the same can't be said of bogs in general.
Viru bog is a fairly open bog, which provides little shelter for animals or birds trying to shelter there. You are more likely to meet animals on the edges and ridges of the bog, where there are more opportunities to go unnoticed. The underlying vegetation is also relatively sparse including mostly heather, blue- and lingonberry and various edible mushrooms. There are no shrubs or trees other than pines.
