Penijõe observation tower

From the observation tower in the reeds on the left bank of the Penijõgi River, you can admire views of the reed beds covering 3,000 hectares between the delta branches of the Kasari River, which is among the most interesting habitats in the Matsalu National Park.

On the left bank of the Penijõgi river in Matsalu National Park, 1.6 km along the Penijõe trail, an 8-metre wooden tower stands at the edge of a reed bed of about 2,000 hectares spread between the branches of the Kasari delta, one of the park's most interesting habitats. On spring evenings you hear the booming of bitterns and the songs of reed warblers. In summer the reeds grow to about 4 metres and hide the wildlife, while marsh harriers and white-tailed eagles hunt overhead. Dogs are not allowed, as grazing cattle may attack them.
