Fifth season canoeing trip in Soomaa

In the Riisa village in Soomaa,  the time of early spring floods is known as the fifth season. During that time, there isn’t enough room in the river basins of the Halliste and Raudna rivers and their tributaries due the water from the melting snow. As a result, it inundates the floodplain meadows and even the floodplain forests. This is an interesting time, the beginning of the water hiking season when you can go about canoeing in the forest. The biggest floods are during late March and early April.

We organise regular canoeing trips every day in the forests, meadows, and rivers of Soomaa during the flood period. You can join the guided group at a certain times every day.
