Rauna rest stop and observation tower

The former forest watch tower, nearly 30 m high, on Raunamägi hill in the highest part of Saaremaa.

On Raunamägi, 54 metres above sea level, the highest point of Saaremaa on the island's 'backbone' in the Viidumäe Nature Reserve, stands a former forest fire lookout tower almost 30 metres high. From the top there is a beautiful view across the whole of western Saaremaa, its forests stretching to the sea. A rest stop with benches and an information board waits at the foot, and the Viidumäe heritage trail circles the hill. Come on a clear day for the widest view.
