The campfire site is located on the dunes of the former Baltic Ice Lake. The place got its name (Chapel hill) according to the Swedish general who was buried there during the Great Northern War.

Kabelimäe campfire site lies on sand dunes that were piled up by the wind on the shore of the Baltic Ice Lake, the vast meltwater lake that covered much of Estonia at the end of the last ice age. Today they are pine-covered ridges in the Saarjõe landscape reserve near Türi. The name means Chapel Hill: according to local tradition, a Swedish general who died in the Great Northern War was buried here. The site lies on the RMK Oandu–Aegviidu–Ikla hiking route, and hikers who find the Saeveski forest hut, about 4 km away, full often spend the night here instead.
