Matsimäe Pühajärve campsite

A spacious campsite by Lake Matsimäe Pühajärv. The lake is suitable for swimming and there is ample room for sunbathing.

Matsimäe Pühajärve campsite lies on the shore of Lake Matsimäe Pühajärv, the holy lake, in the Paunküla landscape reserve, about 69 km from Tallinn and 5 km off the Tallinn–Tartu road. Many Estonian lakes bear the name Pühajärv, a reminder of the old belief that some waters were sacred. This one is a good swimming lake with wooden piers and plenty of grassy space for sunbathing, and it is popular on warm summer weekends. The Simisalu–Matsimäe nature trail passes the campsite. There is room for ten tents and a gazebo for rainy days.
