Selisoo campfire site

 
Ida-Viru County, Alutaguse National Park

The pavilion and the campfire site offer a pleasant atmosphere even in poor weather. Selisoo hiking trail starts at Selisoo campfire site.

The campfire site is located on the eastern edge of Selisoo. Selisoo covers 2,051 hectares and is 7.4 km long and 3.7 km wide. Created by lakes that became overgrown nearly 10,000 years, valuable swamp landscape, the surrounding forest, lakes, protected species and their habitats are protected in the fen. This is where the Selisoo Nature Trail begins. A campfire site with a pavilion offers a pleasant stay even in bad weather.

According to tradition, the baron of Mäetaguse wanted to drain Lake Seli and a ditch was dug for that purpose. As the baron had become old and wretched, he ordered himself to be brought in with a stretcher when the lake had been drained.
