Rannametsa observation tower (ca 540 m from the parking)

With the support of the Cohesion Fund in 2021 - 2023 an observation tower with an eye-catching design was completed in June 2023 according to the project of Urmas Nugin Engineering Office Ltd.

Reconstructed to an eye-catching design and finished in June 2023, the Rannametsa tower near Häädemeeste is a 21.6-metre structure of wood and steel with a canopy roof, reached by a 540-metre walk along a dune from the car park. On one side you look over the Häädemeeste coastal meadow and Pärnu Bay; on the other over Tolkuse bog and its pools, a unique raised bog that formed from a former sea lagoon. Below lie the Rannametsa dunes with bright heath pine forests of different ages. The Rannametsa–Tolkuse nature trail starts here.
