Surface and elevation on the Kreelsepad walk

The Kreelsepad walk runs mostly over soft, natural ground. Of the total distance, 58% is natural ground, 24% is gravel and 16% is unpaved. That makes for a route that is comfortable underfoot, but after rain some sections can be muddy, so wear shoes with a firm tread.
