Ingatsi study trail’s observation tower (ca 1 km from the parking)

The observation tower is located on the Ingatsi study trail on one of the highest bog ridges in Estonia. You can enjoy the view of bog pools and pine trees of Kuresoo bog.

About a kilometre from the car park on the Ingatsi study trail, this roofed tower stands on top of one of the highest bog slopes in Estonia, where the ground of Soomaa climbs abruptly from wet alder forest onto the dome of Kuresoo. Kuresoo is Estonia's largest bog massif, and from the platform you look out across its dark pools and scattered, stunted pines. The view is at its most atmospheric early in the morning, when mist lies over the bog, or in the low light of an autumn evening.
