Agusalu campfire site

The campfire site is in Agusalu Nature Reserve, which features mires alternating with long narrow and high sandy ridges, locally called the 'kriivas'. These are dunes of the former Ice-Age lake of Peipus.

The Agusalu campfire site sits at the end of a long forest road in the Agusalu Nature Reserve, part of Alutaguse National Park. The landscape here is unusual: wide bogs are cut through by long, narrow and surprisingly high sand ridges, which locals call kriivad. They are old dunes, piled up by wind on the shores of the great Ice Age lake that once covered this area, the forerunner of today's Lake Peipus. From the site a path leads to Imatu, a dark bog lake, and the Ristikivi swamp is also nearby. There is room for a few tents, so it suits a quiet night in the wilderness.
