Purekkari campsite

Purekkari Cape marks the northernmost point of the Estonian mainland. Purekkari Cape is a narrow strip of stone, 1.2 –1.5 km long (depending on the height of the water), which winds out into the sea.

Purekkari campsite on the Pärispea peninsula in Lahemaa is the northernmost campsite in Estonia, close to Purekkari cape, the northern tip of the mainland. From the cape a narrow stony spit runs 1.2–1.5 km into the sea, depending on the water level, and big autumn waves can break it into three rocky islets. Huge erratic boulders lie scattered across the peninsula; the largest is 5.2 m high and 22 m around. Local legend says Kalevipoeg threw them here from Finland.
