Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

For those who are interested in dogs and cats, before visiting the nature trail, stop by Luusi area and stop by the Animal Shelter NGO (the address is Paljassaare tee 85, 10313, Tallinn).
From city center, go to Balti Jaam bus station and take bus no 59 to Luusi. Cost is 2 eu (adult) and either pay with cash in exact amount or buy the green card from R-kioski. The shelter building is right in front of the bus stop. (200 mtrs from the nature trail)
You can offer your help by doing some chores around the shelter or taking one dog to walk the nature trail for a couple of hours. They open from 11.30-18.30 and they will only offer you the dog which match your preferences (for example I’m good with small dog thus they gave me Käbike, who’s very sweet and I suspect that he’s a mix breed between Collie and Golden? (^｡^))
Walking around the nature trail itself will take around 1,5 - 2 hours, unless you decide to enjoy sun bath or swimming by the sea.
It’s time for the adventure!

You can make a bicycle tour to the eastern tip of Paljassaare, Väike-Paljassaare. On the way there's Catherine's Pier (Katarina kai) and a sandy beach, Pikakari rand. There are also two birdwatching towers on the area, but no shop or café. The trail gets quite narrow towards the end.

An extensive network of reedbed and shrub with good footpaths/tracks provide a wilderness experience that is a real treat. Marsh harriers patrol the area, I heard a booming bittern, saw a party of penduline tits, heard nightingale and reed warblers amongst an array of other species. There's a beach area where eiders and goosanders were enjoying the sunshine.
It's worth the bus journey from Tallinn, but it's a fair walk from the last stop.
