Koosa campfire site

A favourite spot for overnight stay for fishermen at the crossing of the Emajõgi and Koosa rivers.

Koosa campfire site can only be reached by water. It lies where the Koosa River flows into the Emajõgi, about 34 km downstream from Tartu and 2 km from the RMK Emajõgi hiking trail, on the way towards Lake Peipus. This is the Peipsiveere Nature Reserve, a huge area of floodplain meadows, reed beds and wet forests that is protected as a Ramsar wetland and an important bird area. Boats land on the natural bank, and anglers often spend the night here in the small forest hut or in a tent. Bring your own firewood and drinking water; only river water is available.
