Pääsküla bog - nature in the city!
It's hard to believe, but older Nõmme residents remember a picturesque peat bog with stunted pines on the edge of Nõmme, where even livestock was kept in some places. Although this idyllic place has been lost forever due to Soviet-era land reclamation and peat extraction, it's still a very interesting area and a prime example of what happens to a bog after human intervention. While it's no longer a bastion of pristine nature, the Pääsküla bog is still the closest and most accessible option for Tallinn residents to immerse themselves in nature. This is a nature and culture tour that provides an overview of the flora and fauna of bogs without leaving the city, as well as the history and lore associated with the Pääsküla area!

"I would like to give a big shout-out to Mihkel for yesterday’s tour at Fahle City! ❤️ I think the biggest compliment I can give is that it went exactly the way I had imagined and hoped it would 😊 It was truly great — pleasantly humorous, informative, well-paced and perfectly on schedule. We have also received very positive initial feedback from our people. On top of that, quite a few people said they would love to organize a Matkafy Lantern Hike for their own team event and that they are even going to take a look at what other exciting tours you offer. 😉So, I am extremely happy and would like to thank Mihkel once again for the excellent cooperation!"
