- We visit Estonia like a local today. A visit to the bogs (Viru Bog or Kakerdaja bog in Lahemaa National Park) is an Estonian past time and part of their folklore.

I'm Estonian and I think that bogs are one of the best things about Estonia :) Great to see you had a chance to visit one!
Wonderful! What I appreciate in particular to you guys, is your genuine interest in understanding each culture/country you visit. And learning things beyond the usual superficial info/prejudices/etc. Which enrich you and those you share your wonderful adventures with. So big thank you for being so open and curious and simply being beautiful souls!
Thank you so much! We really are interested in each place we go... it's the only reason we go there! I don't think we can say we understand it like locals, but it's nice to try. /J
It's wonderful you try! ;-)This is a beautiful exercise to spread light into the world. And shatter invisible barriers placed by ignorance/ill intent/etc. So big thank you for your work/passion!
I live near a bog in Wisconsin. The plants the boardwalk was lying on is sphagnum moss. It is the main constituent of peat after it has fallen off the bottom of the layer of moss floating on the water. The sphagnum moss is quite fragile that is why the there is a wooden walkway. You are lucky you did not break through the layer of moss when stepping off of the planks. There is normally only 2 to 4 feet of water underneath the floating moss. The bog you were on looks more like the bogs in Michigan rather than the bog by me.
I wanted to visit Estonia since before the wall came down. I probably will not get there now, so thank you for taking me there via youtube.
Thank you again for your wonderful educational and fun videos.
+Always Forever Curious whoa that's such cool info! I didn't even know there was the same kind of moss in Europe as in Wisconsin. Glad you could visit virtually at least.
I am regular watching your channel.Thanks for your kind effort to provide information about Estonia.
I spend 3 months of my life in Tallinn!!!!Estonia miss you!!!
That looked like you all had fun, a little wet, but fun. Enjoyed it!!
+Marianne Sanchez yep! Sometimes it ok to get a little wet! Haha.
Hi Josh, your remark "I thought bog/peat was only found in Scotland" inspired me to do some research, as I knew we have a few left in Germany. Here is what I found: "Peatlands are areas of land with naturally formed layers of peat. They can be found in at least 175 countries and cover around 4 million square kilometres (1.5 million square miles); that is 3% of the world’s land area. In Europe, peatlands extend to about 515,000 km2 (199,000 sq mi). About 60% of the world's wetlands are made of peat."
However, most bogs have been destroyed, either from getting peat/turf, or to get farmland. As Ash remarked rightly, it needs thousands of years to create the turf you burn in an hour. So, of all renewable energies, this is most likely the only one you should not use.
I am happy to see that the Baltic states after the liberation in 1989 built up their modern economies without repeating all the mistakes we did (by destroying too much nature).
I have great respect to these countries for all they achieved in the last 25 years, and for all they had to endure through the conversation process after the end of the occupation.
After all the PR you did for a country that once wanted to be a part of Europe and now drifts into a totalitarian Regime, it is a very nice change. Thanks for walking us around the Baltic states.
+Thomas Kossatz it's true! Pretty much everywhere we've been has bogs and peat gathering areas protected and preserved now. And yes! I love how green the Baltic states are!
Breathtaking aerial shots :0
I really like this whole inception vlogging thing you've got going with The Endless Adventure :D
Its nice in the bogs! Its old and soo cuiet!
I love calm and smooth Rainy Days♌️♌️♌️

+TL Travel exactly! But walks in nature like we took are really common in Estonia we learned. /J
Loved it! Next week in Tartu there will be cool stuff aswell. But i love it how you went to see a bog. Its the most quite place you could find in my opinion. Plus cranberrys are great. 😂 Loving the vlogs. 🙂
+Terhi Eliise Siitam oh that sounds cool! Wish we were there for it! And yeah, we loved the bog, would be fun to come back in winter and ice skate.
I'm so sad you didn't see our bogs when they're the most beautiful.
Kätlin Planken There is no ugly season in bogs.
Esse lugar e lindo bom dia com alegria e abraços.
I went here a couple years ago and on a clear day and the reflection on the bog was almost like a mirror.
Buen lugar nublado

Thanks for your beautiful videos with great music. Looking forward for see your new video from Estonia. Good luck friends.

Hah! The cut at 7:10 makes it look like she is eating the frog! The end of THAT frog's adventure... well, maybe not... :-)
+New Nomads haha. Poor lil guy.
ty
We have peat also in Finland...
In that bog, there is a wooden cross in memory two musicians who drowned in there. The wooden plank road is a new thing, before there were paths that only few people knew. The two guys were coming back from a party and they were drunk, due to that they did not want to take the long way around, later their accordion was still floating, that is how they were found.
Fact two: there is a highground in the bog, that is called Wolfs island, because once wolves took refugee in there from the hunters. Nowadays it easily accsesable for anyone.
How I know this? I live 2km away from the edge of the bog, if anyone is interested, I can share info about the farm that was once right on the edge of the bog.
Vim pelo Travelandshare
Vi used pit too ( probably spelled wrong) in Denmark to in the olden time
+Eilif Bitsch yeah that's so cool! I had no idea!
Oh no Peet is not only a scottish thing in the netherlands we had loads of peet. In the provinces of South-Holland and Drenthe. In Drenthe which is the most rural part of the Netherlands they had places called Turf(Peet)colonies that were inhabited just for creating Peet.
In Estonian peat=turvas

Peat is not exclusively scottish^^. Everywhere in North Europe they used it, I guess. At least here in Germany is was common too!^^
+fjellyo32 I know! I always just associated it with Scotland! So cool.
THANKS A LOT, GREAT JOB. PLS COME TO BANGLADESH.
Good video, could go in the subtitles translations and authorize the translation into Portuguese.
That kind of natural habitat exists in eastern Virginia, exactly. Squishy ground is fun to walk over...
+Atalay Ant what?! I had no idea! That's so cool. My dad is from Virginia too.
In Estonia is area 20% covered by wettlands and bogs that mind 1.091.001 hectars ! Look "Toomas Argel" in UA-cam natural videos all at Estonia.
