Trip description
Lake Endla Paddling Adventure – Two Days Through the Reed Labyrinth and the Põltsamaa River
Lake Endla is not your typical Sunday family paddle. This is an active holiday for those prepared to lose themselves in winding reed-bed labyrinths, share the kayak with the occasional reed-dwelling insect, and perhaps get a little stuck along the way. That is Endla — and it is absolutely worth it. Your reward is an overnight stay at the RMK Endla forest cabin, where a sauna, covered sleeping quarters, and a campfire evening await. On the second day, you cross Lake Endla once more and follow the Põltsamaa River downstream to the Kirikumäe campfire site, where the journey comes to a close.
