Tõotusemäe campfire site

The campfire site is located in the Luitemaa Nature Reserve, at Tõotusemäe. Nearby is the Rannametsa-Tolkuse nature study trail, which introduces the dune coast, open sandy areas, and bog landscapes.

Tõotusemäe campfire site lies on a slope by the Tallinn–Pärnu–Ikla road in the Luitemaa Nature Reserve, south of Häädemeeste. Here an ancient coastal dune ridge rises above the shore, and its hills Tõotusemägi and Tornimägi are among the highest dunes in Estonia. The name means Promise Hill. According to local legend, sailors caught in a storm vowed to build a chapel if they reached land; they saw a high hill, came safely ashore – and the chapel was never built, but the name remained. Across the road starts the 2.2 km Rannametsa–Tolkuse study trail through dunes, open sands and bog, and the coastal meadows nearby are rich in birds.
