Green Rails Trail Viljandi–Mõisaküla

The Green Rails Trail Viljandi–Mõisaküla is a hiking and cycling route that follows the corridor of a historic narrow-gauge railway. The railway between Viljandi and Mõisaküla opened in 1897, and the last trains ran here in 1973. Today’s roughly 46-kilometre trail passes through the forests, fields and villages of Mulgimaa, mostly on gravel and dirt roads. Between Õisu and Abja-Paluoja you partly have to use asphalt roads, as the old railway embankment is not passable along its entire length. The route can be done in full or you can choose a shorter section. The trail combines exercise with discovering the area’s railway history.
