Pedja river campfire site

Pedja river campfire site is a well-known rest stop for travellers by water and a pleasant rest stop for hikers on Kirna study trail.

This campfire site lies on the bank of the Pedja River in the Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve, Jõgeva County, about 35 km from Tartu. Alam-Pedja is one of Estonia's largest wilderness areas, where several rivers meander through vast floodplains, bogs and wet forests, and the meadows around the site are flooded in spring. The floodplain is rich in plants, birds and fish, and the site is well known as a resting place for canoeists and other river travellers. It is also the end point of the Kirna study trail. Now and then the quiet is broken by distant gunfire from a Defence League shooting range nearby.
