Viljandi - Mõisaküla 45 km
Green Railways cycling and walking trail from Viljandi to Mõisaküla uses the old narrow-gauge train causeway that passes picturesque landscapes and small towns of southern Estonia.
The narrow-gauge railway was opened in 1897 and the last train rode here in June 1973.
The trail runs mostly on gravel and surface roads, but between Õisu and Abja-Paluoja for a few kilometres on bigger roads. Unfortunately, the old railway has become mostly impassable in that section.
The trail is signposted and there are a lot of historic photos by the trail.
