Pärnu County, Matsalu National Park
Not far from the birthplace of Prof. Eerik Kumari (1912–1984), a memorial is placed in honour of the famous Estonian ornithologist on the Kirbla terrace. The memorial stone was designed by Kalju Reitel in 1987 and has an inscription which reads “The birds’ calls in springtime gave the boy no rest, so he often sneaked off to the floodplain to observe wilderness and listen to the singing of birds for hours.” The Kirbla terrace is part of the Silurian Klint, which stretches from western Estonia to the coast of Gotland.
Sights
The memorial stone is situated on the Kirbla terrace, offering a breathtaking view.
