Mütsiga männi campfire site

An entertaining stop right next to the main road in the middle of the beautiful and rich forests of Kaiu kames. The “Pine with a cap” campfire site is named after the witches’ broom on a pine tree near the campfire site.

The name of this campfire site means 'the pine with a hat'. It comes from a pine tree beside the site that carries a witches' broom – a dense, bushy tangle of twigs growing from one branch, caused by a fungus, mite or mutation, which from a distance looks like a hat perched on the tree. The site lies among the rich forests of the Kaiu kames in Jõgeva County, about 33 km from Tartu, just 100 m from the road. It has a lean-to, a covered fire pit and room for seven tents, and the 3 km Tammeluha hiking trail leads from here to the Kaiu lakes.
