Eesjärve campsite

The Lake Eesjärv campsite is the gateway to the Neeruti trails. It is the starting point of a nature trail that runs through the exciting estuary landscape, which, according to folk tales, are furrows ploughed by Kalevipoeg.

Eesjärve campsite on the shore of Lake Neeruti Eesjärv is the starting point of the Neeruti trails in Lääne-Viru County. The ground here is a maze of steep ridges and deep hollows left by the melting ice sheet, and folklore has its own explanation: the furrows were ploughed by Kalevipoeg, the giant hero of the Estonian epic. Across the lake you can see Sadulamägi, a hill that held an ancient Estonian stronghold. The nature trail comes in 1.5 km and 3.5 km loops, with an audio guide about place names and Kalevipoeg sites. Autumn is the best time, when the trees are mirrored in the still lakes.
