The observation tower is located on the Järvi-Aegviidu hiking trail in the middle of Kõnnu Suursoo - it translates into English as Kõnnu Big Bog. To visit the observation tower, follow the left branch of the Paukjärve nature trail for 1 km from the Kaksiksilla parking lot to the Pauljärve esker.

In the middle of Kõnnu Suursoo, the 'Big Bog' of Kõrvemaa, a 10-metre wooden tower with two platforms looks out over open bog, pools and bog lakes. To reach it, walk 1 km from the Kaksiksilla car park along the left branch of the Paukjärve nature trail to the Paukjärve esker, where it meets the Järvi–Aegviidu hiking trail; turn left and after 1.2 km of bog you are at the tower, about 2.3 km in all. On still days the pools mirror the sky, which makes this a rewarding place at sunrise or sunset.
