Selisoo campfire site

The pavilion and the campfire site offer a pleasant atmosphere even in poor weather. Selisoo hiking trail starts at Selisoo campfire site.

Selisoo campfire site is on the eastern edge of the Selisoo mire in Alutaguse National Park, about 26 km from Jõhvi. The mire covers about 2,051 hectares, 7.4 km long and 3.7 km wide, and it grew over nearly 10,000 years as old lakes slowly filled in with peat. A local legend tells of a baron of Mäetaguse who wanted to drain Lake Seli by digging a ditch; when the work was done, the ageing baron had himself carried to the lake on a stretcher to see it. The 4 km Selisoo nature trail starts at the campfire site and leads by boardwalk across the open bog.
