Altja Nature and Cultural Trail

A 3 km coastal and village route through Altja, with a headland, stony shore and river scenery.

Why stop here

This is a walking destination for exploring a Lahemaa coastal village and its setting. The route’s suspension bridge and changing shoreline scenery provide more variety than a simple stop on the sand.

Plan your visit

Use the named trail destination and follow the route signs. Allow for uneven and wet ground and choose footwear for a countryside walk. This listing represents the cultural and nature trail; it does not promise swimming facilities, lifeguards or a sandy bathing beach.
