Attention!
Foot-and-mouth, a severe animal disease, is currently circulating in Europe and also poses a threat to animals in Estonia. Your help is needed to prevent animals here – sheep, cattle, goats, and other ungulates – from becoming infected. We ask that you please follow some important recommendations.
Due to frequent rainfall and the high water level of the Pikknurme River, access to the Altmetsa campfire site has been significantly more complicated, as the section of the trail leading there has been flooded in several places.
The campfire site is in the lands of the old Altmetsa farm, 1,5 km from the parking lot of Kirna study trail. The observation tower at the campfire site is visible from the very start of Kirna study trail and it offers a good view on the Pedja river and flooded meadow.
Parking
Parking for 8 cars is at he beginning of the trail before the bridge over the Pedja River.
Amenities
Altmetsa 4-storey watchtower (14 m), campfire site with grill rest, 6 benches, dry toilet, information board
Kirna study trail, which takes you to the campfire site, can be impassable during the flood. On the trail and at the campfire site gun shots can be heard – this is because of the shooting practice of the Defence League.
Before going on a nature walk please read the Environmental code of conduct, rules of conduct and waste-sorting policy
Restrictions
The campfire site is situated in Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve. Further information can be obtained from the Environmental Board +372 662 5999, info@keskkonnaamet.ee
