Härma campfire site

The lower Härma wall or Kõlgusniidu wall is a 20.5 m high protruding rock, one of the most beautiful in Piusa primeval valley for its bright-coloured clay layers and majestic pyramid shape.

This campfire site lies on a riverside meadow in the ancient valley of the Piusa River in Setomaa. Right next to it rises the lower Härma wall, also called the Kõlgusniidu wall: a 20.5 m high cliff of Devonian sandstone that juts out over the river. It is one of the most striking outcrops in the valley, shaped almost like a pyramid and banded in brightly coloured layers of sand and clay. The Piusa valley hiking trail and the long RMK Peraküla–Aegviidu–Ähijärve route both pass nearby, and other sandstone outcrops are signposted along the access road. The site is on private land, so treat it gently.
