Manor Park Visitor Programmes

The 2 km educational trail “Trail of Senses and Experiences” winds through the 10-hectare Anija manor park. Behind the manor house lies a French-style section of the park, and further away stretches an English-influenced park with tall trees. Accompanied by a visitor guide, we discover the hidden corners of the park, awaken all five senses and hear stories about the life and customs of the manor folk.

In 2026 the educational trail was renewed with LEADER support. On the information boards, visitors are now accompanied by the last lady of Anija Manor, Mary von Wahl, whom you can also meet in the manor house’s permanent exhibition “The Story of the Manor Era”. New information boards, tactile and playful elements and cosy resting places have been added. Take a closer look at the renewed manor park.

The educational trail “Trail of Senses and Experiences”

We offer two programmes tailored to visitors of different ages.

The Secrets of Anija Manor Park (kindergartens, primary school)

For children, the trail is full of secret places and discoveries. Along the way they can touch large relief tree leaves and figures of a bee, wasp, hornet and bumblebee, read a tree’s age from its growth rings, look for giant mushrooms, peek into a giant bird’s nest, try the broom trail, swing on the balance swing and play outdoor games. By moving and playing, children learn about Estonian nature and think about how our way of life affects it.

“An educational trail must allow interest to awaken and beauty to be discovered in every stone, stump and forest glade,” said landscape ecologist and cultural historian Jaan Eilart. The “Trail of Senses and Experiences” is exactly that.

The programme is well suited for a class excursion or study trip.

The Hidden Wonders of Anija Manor Park (lower secondary school, upper secondary school, adults)

For older pupils and adults, the trail offers a calmer journey of discovery where nature, manor history and cultural heritage intertwine. On the information boards, guests are accompanied on this journey by the lady of the manor, Mary von Wahl, and the rich diversity of species in Anija manor park holds surprises even for experienced nature lovers. The programme is a pleasant change from everyday life and a good stretch during a seminar day: it brings the group together and creates opportunities for socialising.

The walk can end in the pondside gazebo or at the campfire site, where herbal tea and manor barley bread taste great. The programme can also be combined with a visit to the permanent exhibition “The Story of the Manor Era”.

Practical information

The programme lasts 1–1.5 hours and the trail is 2 km long. We offer the programmes from April to October. To improve accessibility, the paths have been widened and the lower sections of the trail raised and covered with mulch, so the trail is easy to walk.

The price depends on the size of the group:

• Up to 10 people €70 (minimum fee).
• 11–25 people €7 per person.
• 26–50 people €6 per person.

For school groups, two accompanying adults take part in the programme free of charge.

For an additional fee we offer an outdoor snack (manor barley bread with honey or herb butter and refreshing herbal tea), €6 per person.

We are happy to make changes to the programme: add lunch, a visit to the permanent exhibition, a workshop, etc. We encourage you to share your ideas with us.

NB! The manor park also has a bee therapy house where you can experience bee therapy.
