The "President's hiking trail" is a 10 km-long forest trail in Laane-Viru County that starts in Aegviidu and winds its way through Nelijarve to Janeda. In winter it plays host to the ever more popular "President's hike", in which Arnold Ruutel, President of Estonia from 2001-2006, also takes part. Did you know...? - The trail was named after former Presidents of Estonia, Konstantin Pats and Arnold Ruutel, who came here often. - The first President of the Republic of Estonia, Konstantin Pats, was the man behind the Nelijarve tourism centre: he came up with the idea and funded its construction. He also founded Janeda Agricultural High School. - Arnold Ruutel graduated Janeda School with the class of '49.
