Mummassaare campfire site

The campfire site is located just near the beach. The name Mummassaare is believed to come from the French language (Mon Blansière - my pleasure). In the 19th century, this beach was a summer resort for the noblemen and merchants of St. Petersburg and Narva.

Mummassaare campfire site lies by the beach at Narva-Jõesuu in Ida-Viru County, where little spring-fed streams run into the sea and keep the vegetation green and lush. The name is thought to come from French. In the 19th century this coast was a summer resort for noblemen and merchants from St Petersburg and Narva, and a rare Bronze Age axe was found nearby in 1936. In 1944 the German Tannenberg defence line ran through here towards the Sinimäed hills, and fierce fighting lasted for three months; a cemetery nearby holds about 2,000 Estonian soldiers and officers killed in those battles. The RMK Penijõe–Aegviidu–Kauksi route passes the site.
