The Roela campfire site is located behind RMK’s Roela Cone Hut Museum (Cone Hut), in the shade of native trees. Although it is located on the 613 km long Penijõe-Aegviidu-Kauksi long-distance hiking route, the site can also be used by visitors to the Roela Cone Hut Museum and by those walking on the esker. In this case, cars should be left in the Cone Hut car park. The Mõdriku-Roela esker is the longest in Estonia, and a pleasant nature trail runs along its crest beneath old pines and spruces. During the opening hours of the Roela Cone Dryer-Museum, the information point provides maps of the trail and clues for the backpack programme. Also Cone House itself is also worth visiting: a pine cone dryer built in 1928, which still has its original ovens and equipment, as well as an open exhibition.

Neerut nature trail offers an exciting opportunity to hike with a guide - an audio guide! There are 15 information boards on the trail, each with a square code. By scanning the code, you can hear stories about Neeruti nature and place names, how Kalevipoeg plowed here and was in trouble with wolves, and also just an information - how to get to the next point of interest. The trail starts and ends at Eesjärve campsite. Neerut nature trail can be hiked in 1.5 and 3.5 km circles. From the Eesjärve campsite, the trail goes around the lake and climbs to Sadulamäe - the ancient town hill. There is an information house on the slope of Sadulamäe, where you can get detailed information while resting your feet. It is a nice place for nature education for schools, kindergartens and families. The trail continues on long ridges - oases, with a steep slope of up to 45 degrees in some places. There, too, you can hear a lot about Neeruti forests, big trees, birds and where the fascinating place names come from. The longer circle(3.5 km) extends to Kiissaaugumägi and from there along Nuuskaugumägi and around Tagajärve again to the Eesjärve parking lot. Neerut nature trail and camping area were renovated in 2020 as a part of the Estonian-Finnish cooperation project "Lights on!", which shed light and gave new life to eight objects related to history and heritage in Estonia and Finland.

The Lake Eesjärv campsite is the gateway to the Neeruti trails. It is the starting point of a nature trail that runs through the exciting estuary landscape, which, according to folk tales, are furrows ploughed by Kalevipoeg. You can choose between a 1.5 or 3.5 km long route. Information boards along the trail provide additional details about the local nature, places related to Kalevipoeg, and place names, which you can access with the help of an audio guide by scanning the QR codes. You can also swim in the lake and fish according to the rules. Across the lake, you can enjoy an enchanting view of the slopes of Sadulamägi, an ancient Estonian hillfort. The landscape is especially beautiful in autumn when the colourful silhouettes of the trees are reflected in the waters of the lake.

The Tissipuu campfire site is located on the Neeruti nature trail, between Lake Tagajärv and Lake Eesjärv. As there is no direct access to the campfire site by car, it is a calmer place for those hiking and walking the beautiful forest trails of Neeruti. Those who come by car can opt for the Neeruti Eesjärve campsite instead. The campfire site is named after a special spruce tree that grew nearby. After drying out, the tree was erected as a monument on the edge of the campfire site. Our common spruce takes many interesting forms: Picea abies or ‘Virgata’ has long, unbranched, winding branches, and Picea abies subsp. abies f. tuberculata has a thick cracked bark reminiscent of crocodile scales. The ‘Tissipuu’ has convex nodules at the branch collar, reminiscent of the female breast. Next to the campfire site is a bridge over the canal that connects the two lakes. From there, you can hike along the nature trail to Sadulamägi and Leivaahjumägi, and take a tour of the Neeruti esker landscape. There are information boards along the trail, but you can learn even more about the landscape, legends, and place names with the help of an audio guide. To access these, scan the QR codes on the information boards.
