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 spring floods, the access to the observation tower through the grazing area is very muddy and difficult to pass in places. We apologize! We recommend using rubber boots with longer legs and monitoring the local conditions!
Suitable for a solitary wanderer interested in birds and nature. Beautiful view to the Tahu Bay. The road is not marked, it is necessary to bring a GPS device.
Parking
Leave your car at the Saare manor.
