Balic Bog Rout 2 NEW!!
Baltic Bog Routes
Autum with its vibrant colours is the best season for visiting the bogs – the heat is over, insects are not annoying, and the smell of cranberries and mushrooms feels the air.
The role of the bogs in Baltic nature and culture is impossible to overestimate. The first bogs emerged here after the last ice age around 10 000 years ago. The role of the bogs has transformed from a horrific place, where it was easy to sink, to a place, where man could find food and refuge from enemies. Today the Baltic bogs are the top-of-the list attractions with landscapes of unspeakable beauty and absolute must-sees in your Baltic trip plan.
Estonians say: “All Estonian roads lead to the bog.” We agree and invite you to a trip, where all YOUR roads will lead to the bogs – the beautiful bogs of the Baltics.

This is really the route off-the-beaten-track! The itinerary includes 3 Baltic countries and 7 bogs located near the beautiful cities and towns, that are usually not included in traditional tourist routes, at least in such combination. The diversity of the bog landscapes will surprize you and make you feel the autumn vibes in the untouched nature of the Baltics.
If a one-week vacation seems not enough for you, we suggest you to complete your trip plan with our other Autumn routes, for example, “Golden Weekend in Lithuania”, that starts from Vilnius.
