Forest is a magnetic nature attraction with great potential for hiking tourism. Forests in Latvia and Estonia are covered with dense network of forest roads and trails. Surprisingly, one could hike from Riga to Tallinn almost without leaving the forest, but for hikers’ convenience, the Forest Trail route will also visit hospitable local villages and towns. The Forest Trail will guide hikers through ca 1050km of most beautiful nature territories as they would follow the marked route, with a map or a mobile device in hand. Covering walking distances of average 20km per day, hikers will be welcome to overnight and have meals in country hotels and guest houses conveniently located along the Forest Trail. The Forest Trail guidebook, web site and apps will offer attractive forest interpretations allowing hikers to learn about and enjoy the forest life - nature processes, landscapes, animals, birds, trees, mushrooms, etc. The Forest Trail will cross protected landscape areas, two national parks – Gauja and Lahemaa, will pass through the land of Seto people being proud of authentic folk heritage, and will wind along the Lake Peipsi. Riga and Tallinn as start or end points will make the Forest Trail easily accessible to foreign guests, as it will be linked with the routes of European long distance hiking path network. Project partners will form a network to implement and maintain the Forest Trail, each partner being responsible for activities in certain trail parts. The Latvian and Estonian rural tourism organizations will be responsible for network coordination and Forest Trail promotion while Latvian State Forests, Latvian Nature Conservation Agency, Vidzeme Planning Region, Kurzeme Planning Region, MTÜ Setomaa Turism, MTÜ Peipsimaa Turism and MTÜ Ökokuller in Lahemaa will manage activities locally.
