Kirikumäe campfire site Võrumaa

The campfire site at the picturesque Lake Kirikumäe is an excellent rest stop for hikers in the RMK Peraküla-Aegviidu-Ähijärve hiking route.

This small campfire site lies on the shore of Lake Kirikumäe, the church hill lake, in the Kirikumäe landscape reserve south-east of Võru, on the way to Vastseliina. The lake lies among the hills of Võrumaa, with forest and meadow on its banks. Two tents fit here at most, so it is mainly a rest stop: the 3.2 km Kirikumäe hiking trail circles past it, and walkers on the long RMK Peraküla–Aegviidu–Ähijärve route stop for a fire and a break. Water for washing is taken from the lake, and the trailhead and parking are right by the road.
