The hiking club HikingEstonia grew out of the active lifestyle of the hiking guides and their desire to set a good example for others to spend more time in the fresh air and natural environment. Our goal is to offer healthy exercise in nature in the form of weekly hikes. Hiking is not just a sport, it is a form of active holiday, a lifestyle in itself.
Andrus is a founding member and the driving force behind HikingEstonia. He has been interested in nature and hiking ever since he was a kid. He started hiking more seriously in 2005.

He considers conquering some of the world’s highest mountains, including Mount Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, Damavand,Iliniza Norte, Iliniza Sur, Sincholagua, Jbel Toubkal and many others, to be his greatest hiking achievements.

islands,which are located in Balearic Islands.

Hiker of the Year 2019 and 2020 / Tour guide
I am daily involved in the production of blankets and pillows at the Haljala factory and also give massages.
I began taking hiking really serious after joining HikingEstonia, which has now become a way of life for me: a cool group of friends and so many new hiking companions! Over and over again, I want to go into the wild with them.
I consider the courage to go hiking beyond Estonia the greatest achievement of a hiker (e.g. Norway, South Africa, Finland).
Tour guide
I am currently working as an instructor in a call cetre.
I was born and grew up in the countryside, and I have had an attraction to nature throughout my whole life.
I discovered HikingEstonia in 2019 and from that moment on I meet these great people at least once a month.
Hiking with a group is interesting because you meet different people outside your circle of acquaintances. This type of hiking is certainly has a disciplining effect, because when hiking in the woods alone, one would, perhaps, not set out for that long trips; you can also discover new cool places to revisit later.
In 2021 My family received a small addition so I am getting used to the new lifelong career aswell right now.
But most importantly: exercise is healthy!
Get out into the nature!

I have always enjoyed nature by walking, running and cycling. In the last few years, I have discovered hiking, however, being not an expert in it yet.
For a long time, I have lived near the Mustamäe-Nõmme forest parks, thus the Harku forest trails and the surroundings of the Mustamäe jumping tower are familiar to me since childhood. I currently live in the village of Vanamõisa.
I’ve been engaged in swimming and have become a world champion and world cup winner in underwater orienteering.
I currently work in the field of energy and automation: a manufacturing company where I originally supplied materials for production lines of actuators and renewable energy equipment, now I run a department that offers warranty order processing services around the world. Over the years, I have supplied the commercial sector with computer equipment, as well as with fruits and vegetables.
