The tallest watch-tower in the Matsalu area is situated on the left bank of the Suitsu River, at the edge of the Matsalu forest. From the tower opens a view of the unique landscape of Matsalu, where reed beds, coastal pastures stretch side by side and the Matsalu bay frames the horizon. The forest west to the tower used to be a wooded meadow but has now overgrown.
