Konati campsite

The campsite is located in a former gravel quarry which offers a good place for camping, safe from winds. This is an excellent example of mine reclamation.

Konati campsite lies in a former gravel quarry on Saaremaa, about 27 km from Kuressaare along the road to Mustjala. When digging stopped, the pit was left to nature and filled with water, and today it is a sheltered hollow with a quarry lake that makes a good swimming spot – an example of how an old mine can be turned back into a pleasant landscape. The hollow keeps the wind off, which matters on an island where the sea breeze rarely stops. An RMK hiking trail is signposted from the site, leading into the surrounding forest.
