Scenic Lake Exploration - Kõnnu Bog/Lake
I found these photos on my memory card from last year and decided it was time to export those and look over them, haha.
Last year in September, I took a short trip to central Estonia to go and take a short hike and to see a scenic lake that I think I had not visited before. The name is Kõnnu lake, which is part of a bigger swampland, the Rabivere Bog.
The trail from the parking spot to the bog took me about 25 minutes to walk, if I remember it correctly,through some beautiful fields and forests.
Here is the shot I took in the forest and farther away you can see the lake itself.
Having reached the lake, I instantly saw how scenic it was. The beautiful sunset, calm windless weather and birds chirping definitely contributed to the experience.
The lake itself is about 4 meters deep and reaches this depth pretty much instantly. This is how bog lakes usually are. There is also a small dock that can be used to jump straight into the water. I didnt go swimming that evening.
It's possible to walk around the entire lake, but it's difficult. It's still a bog and very wet with squishy ground. I tried to walk around a bit, but couldn't go very far because of the wet ground. If it's been a very dry summer, only then is it possible to circle the lake and succeed so with dry feet.
I stayed there about 45 minutes and started into the sunset.
After the sun went away and the temperature dropped, I could quickly notice the fog appearing over the lake. Made the scenery a bit mystic-looking.
It started to get dark pretty quickly. Since I didn't want to be left in total darkness going back through the thick forest, I had to start going.
It was a great short stay and a walk next to the Kõnnu lake that evening, sure would love to go back and maybe even circle the lake someday when it's a dry period!

.Wow! A magical spot, especially with the sunset and fog adding that mystical touch. 🥰
Scenery on the lake is lovely. Nice place to wait sunset. You can visit same place at different times and have different experience. Walking trail with tall trees looks calming.
Seems like you had good time there.
I love the gradient of colors caused by the sunset. The transition from light to dark is truly beautiful. 😍
Those silhouette attracts me and the beauty of the lake because of im fond of it. Thanks for these lovely photos.
