Saarte bog campfire site

A solitary and secluded campfire site in Saarte bog near the Pirita river. The campfire site is located on an old farmstead – in a glade in deep forest. The fireplace itself is sheltered between the foundation remains of the farmhouse.

The Saarte bog campfire site lies in a clearing in dense forest near the Pirita River in Kiili parish, south of Tallinn, on the site of an old farm. The fireplace is tucked between the stone foundations of the former farmhouse, so you sit where a family once lived at the edge of the bog. You can only get here on foot – cars are left on a forest road about 3 km away – which makes it feel far more remote than its distance from the capital suggests. A small unfurnished hut gives emergency shelter in bad weather, and the site lies on the RMK Peraküla–Aegviidu–Ähijärve hiking route.
