Kukeseene campfire site

The “Chanterelle” campfire site is one of the campfire sites at Kaiu lakes and is suitable for enthusiasts of recreational water sports and hikers who like to walk in the forest of alternating terrain, rich in wild berries and mushrooms.

Kukeseene, the chanterelle, is one of the campfire sites around the Kaiu lakes in Jõgeva County, about 33 km from Tartu. It lies near Lake Kaiu on the uneven ground of the Kaiu kames – rounded hills of sand and gravel left by the melting ice sheet – in forests rich in berries and, as the name promises, mushrooms. The lakes are part of the Kääpa landscape reserve, where only non-motorised boats are allowed, which makes them good for canoeing and quiet paddling. The site has a covered fireplace and a woodshed you can sleep in, and walkers can follow the trails between the Kaiu lakes.
