The Endla Nature Reserve offers 2-15 km of hiking trails through the high moor. The peat thickness is 8 meters and the peat moss body is soaked with fresh water up to 95%. Several advertising photos were taken from the Männikjärve lookout tower. The tower offers a view of the play of peat moss, the bog and the crippled pine trees.

For hikers, the National Park offers several longer and shorter hiking trails.
