Kiidjärve Visitor Centre

Overview

Kiidjärve Visitor Centre is located on the bank of the picturesque Ahja river in Kiidjärve village, at the heart of the Kiidjärve-Kooraste recreation area, surrounded by historical sights and scenic nature: the sandstone outcrops, the "ant kingdom", Valgesoo bog and Roiupalu primeval forest.  

Whether you walk or cycle here, or come by car, bus or train – here you can look around, have a rest and plan your further trip. It is possible to rent rooms in the centre for seminars and meetings.

Those interested may view the displays and exhibitions, watch nature documentaries and register for nature education programmes. In the outdoor classroom in the yard of the visitor centre one can learn about types of forest and the forest life cycle. From the visitor centre you can go to the 3.2 km Roiupalu study trail or the 11.8 km Kiidjärve-Taevaskoja-Kiidjärve hiking trail. 

The visitor centre gives information about RMK recreation and hiking opportunities. You can buy maps of RMK recreation areas, protected areas and hiking trails, as well as souvenirs. 

We offer various nature education programmes and study trips for schools, kindergartens and adults, and organise forest and nature events.
