The visitor information center in Soomaa National Park is a good place to start getting ready for the hike. The building with its cozy wooden paneling exudes a welcoming atmosphere, and inside there is not only information, but also a small exhibition on the history of the park and traditional canoes. Particularly practical: Here you can get up-to-date information on the circular routes and the mosquito situation - always helpful if you are planning to spend a long time outdoors.
The staff are friendly and are happy to give you tips. Regardless of whether you are looking for maps for an individual route or have a quick question, the advice is straightforward and committed. It is worth stopping by for a moment and finding out about the special features of the park, the wildlife or the historical background.
The opening times are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. on weekends. This leaves enough time to stop by before or after the hike. The information center is not big, but it is lovingly designed and offers everything you need for a successful trip into nature.
