Kakerdaja Bog, Natural bog in Järva Rural Municipality, Estonia
The Kakerdaja Bog spans 1000 hectares within the Epu-Kakerdi wetland complex, featuring numerous pools and two distinct elevation levels.
Hiiesaare marsh island within the bog complex served as a shelter location and ritual site during ancient Estonian periods.
The bog functions as a significant ecological preserve, maintaining the natural heritage of Estonian wetlands through protected status and conservation efforts.
A 4-kilometer nature trail with boardwalks guides visitors through the wetland, while reflectors along the Kalajärve section assist with navigation.
During spring and autumn migrations, thousands of waterfowl congregate at the bog pools, creating substantial gatherings of diverse bird species.
