Viru bog - nature, people and folklore!

Bogs are ancient and mystical places that have been both feared and revered in folk culture. For centuries, people have fled to inaccessible bog islands to escape wars, diseases, and manor serfdom. In more recent times, bogs have been no strangers to the Forest Brothers, but their natural resources have also attracted the peat industry. Today, they are one of the last bastions of pristine nature, captivating and attracting vacationers with their beauty.
