Rääkjärve campfire site

The campfire site is on two banks of Lake Rääkjärv. One of the banks is steep. There a view opens on the lake and the campfire site on the opposite bank. Surface area 4.9 ha and maximum depth 7 m.

Lake Rääkjärv is one of the Kurtna lakes in Alutaguse National Park, an oval lake lying east to west in a hollow between kames, the sandy hills left by the ice sheet. It covers 5.4 hectares and is up to 4.4 m deep. Its banks are high and steep, covered with pine and birch, and one side rises far above the water and the campfire site opposite. The campfire places themselves are on sandy shores, and a staircase leads down to the water. In late summer the surrounding woods are full of bilberries and cowberries.
