Rocket Base campfire site

The campfire site is a nice place to stop for hikers on RMK Penijõe-Aegviidu-Kauksi Hiking Route. Situated in the former Kadila rocket base.

This campfire site in Lääne-Viru County lies inside the former Kadila rocket base, a Soviet missile site hidden in the state forest off the Rakvere–Väike-Maarja road. The old base roads still lead through the trees, and the ruins of the base's buildings stand among the pines. They are unstable and may collapse, so climbing on them is forbidden, but walking around them gives a vivid sense of how heavily militarised the Estonian countryside was during the Cold War. Today the site is a rest stop on the RMK Penijõe–Aegviidu–Kauksi hiking route, with a lean-to shelter, a covered fireplace and space for tents.
