Lake Umbjärv campfire site

The lakeside campfire site, located in a beautiful pine forest south of Elva, is suitable for a shorter stop and a swim, as well as a longer stop - camping. Numerous forest roads and trails are also suitable for just fun walks.

Lake Umbjärv campfire site lies in pine forest by the lake of the same name in Illi village, south of Elva, inside the Elva Landscape Reserve. The Elva area is one of Tartu County's favourite outdoor places, a landscape of dry pine heaths, small lakes and the winding Elva River. The site suits both a quick stop for a swim and a longer stay in a tent, with room for ten. Many forest roads and paths lead away from the shore, and the Elva River primeval valley hiking trail passes right by, linking Umbjärv with the Illi and Jõeharu campsites along the river.
