Hirvepargi campfire site

The campfire site in the protected Vana-Vigala Hirvepark forest on the island of Jakob, with its pond and two pond islands, offers plenty of opportunities for discovery. Over 60 different species of trees and shrubs can be found here, including Estonia’s oldest larch culture.

This campfire site lies in the Hirvepark (Deer Park) forest at Vana-Vigala, on a spot called Jakob's island. The park belonged to Vana-Vigala manor and still has its pond with two small islands. More than 60 kinds of trees and shrubs grow in the old forest, among them what is described as Estonia's oldest planted larch stand. The site has a covered fireplace and space for three tents, and it lies on the long Penijõe–Aegviidu–Kauksi hiking route. The paths through the park are very soft underfoot, and cyclists have to push their bikes the last stretch. The manor itself is a short walk away.
