Katku campfire site

The campfire site is a good resting spot at the edge of large coniferous forests and the protected Katkusoo (Rüütli) bog.

Katku campfire site is a small resting place near Lodja village in southern Pärnu County, where wide coniferous forests meet the protected Katkusoo, or Rüütli, bog. The bog is a permanent home of the western capercaillie, the large wood grouse, and if you are lucky and quiet you may see one. Capercaillies need large, undisturbed old forests and bogs, which is exactly what this corner of Saarde parish offers. The surrounding woods also have varied forest plant communities. There is a small pond, an outdoor fireplace and a covered one, and space for three tents, and the Raja farm mini zoo is signposted on the way.
