Iisaku observation tower

Iisaku hill is the second-highest place in Ida-Viru County after Uljaste esker. In clear weather, you can see the towers of Pühtitsa Convent and Lake Peipus from the 28 m observation tower on top of the hill.

Iisaku hill rises 94 metres above sea level, the second-highest natural point in Ida-Viru County after the Uljaste esker, and a 28-metre tower stands on its top. The view is a portrait of the whole county: bogs and forests of Alutaguse, the spoil heaps and ash hills of the oil-shale mines, and on a clear day the onion domes of the Pühtitsa convent at Kuremäe and the wide flat line of Lake Peipus. Come on a crisp, clear day, when the visibility reaches all the way to the lake.
