The Simisalu area is known for its 'drifting sand' — loose sands carried by the wind into the pine forest, forming small sand hummocks.

The Simisalu-Matsimäe nature trail is a quiet loop through the sandy landscape of Kõrvemaa. The trail introduces the distinctive features of the transition zone between sandy pine forests and bog.
