Ilumetsa rental hut

A wonderful place to spend time. The Nohipalo hiking trail is near the rental hut.

Ilumetsa rental hut stands in dry heath forest at Nohipalo in Põlva County, with the Nohipalo hiking trail starting at its door. The area holds some of South-East Estonia's most curious sights. A few kilometres away are the Ilumetsa meteorite craters, left when a meteorite fell here several thousand years ago; the largest of them, called Põrguhaud or Hell's Grave, is a deep forest pit. Nearby the Meenikunno protected area has bog lakes, among them Mustjärv and Valgejärv, the Black and White lakes, reached on a 5.8 km trail. The Ootsipalu valley and Rebasmäe spring are also close. The hut sleeps six and has its own sauna.
