Luite campfire site

The campfire site is on the historical Sakala Road and is suitable for hikers both for a brief stop or an overnight stay, even for larger groups. The sandy dune ridge is a remnant of the Baltic Ice Lake.

Luite, the dune, is a campfire site on a sandy ridge in Navesti landscape reserve, Viljandi County, close to the Navesti River bridge. The ridge is a remnant of the Baltic Ice Lake: thousands of years ago its waves washed this shore, and standing on the sand you can almost sense how close the water once was. Today it is dry pine forest, good for berries and mushrooms, and the ground is covered with bearberry, a low evergreen shrub long used as a medicinal herb. The site lies on the historical Sakala road, and the Sakala Road hiking trail runs through it.
