Green energy trail of Oru Park
Landscape-wise, Oru park is located on a sandstone bank in the Pühajõe River valley at the mouth of klint bay. The alternating relief with the seaside plain, Neide Bank and the banks of the Pühajõe RiverValley makes the landscape of the park very varied and beautiful. Here you can see a high limestone bank, a river floodplain, a terraced valley bank on the edge of a bank cliff, an alvar and a bank slope with a deep sandy bottom. Thanks to the naturally diverse landscape, the park offers beautiful and interesting views of the surrounding landscape, the sea and the park itself.
