Paukjärve nature trail’s observation tower (ca 1 km from the parking)

The observation tower is located in Paukjärve esker – a ridge created under glacier. The tower offers a view of Põhja Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve. Kõnnu Suursoo is on one side, Paukjärv on the other.

An 11-metre wooden tower with two platforms stands on the Paukjärve esker, a ridge of sand and gravel laid down by a river running under the ice sheet. It looks out over the Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve: on one side Kõnnu Suursoo bog with its lakes and pools, on the other Lake Paukjärv. The Paukjärve nature trail, the Järvi–Aegviidu trail and a branch of the Oandu–Aegviidu–Ikla route all pass here. From the Kaksiksilla car park it is 1 km by the left branch of the loop or 4 km by the right.
