Lasajärve campfire site

In the still of the bog pine forest a beautiful lake glimmers, and on its shore a small group of hikers can comfortably spend the night.

Lake Lasa glimmers in the stillness of a boggy pine forest near Holdre village in Valga County, about 13 km along the Helme–Kirikuküla–Holdre road. It is a shallow lake: you have to wade almost 50 m from the shore before the water is deep enough to swim, so it is a gentle place to paddle. The surrounding forest is full of bilberries in July, and in autumn it is good mushroom country. The site is small, with a fire ring, a covered picnic table, a changing cabin and room for three tents, so it suits a small hiking group or a family.
