Suur Munamägi rest stop

The recreation site is located in an asphalt parking area near the Suur Munamägi hill. Benches are provided so that the tired wanderers can rest their feet.

Suur Munamägi rest stop is the parking and picnic place at the foot of Suur Munamägi, the Great Egg Hill, in Haanja Nature Park. At 318 m it is the highest point in the Baltic countries, and the observation tower on its top looks out over the rolling Haanja upland, with its steep hills, hollows and small lakes. Beside the rest stop is a pond where the northern crested newt, a protected amphibian, comes to spawn. The area belongs to the Natura 2000 network as a bird and wildlife conservation area, so keep to the paths.
