Tsitre trail’s observation tower (ca 300 m from the parking)

The tower has been built in place of the former Soviet border guards' observation tower. In addition to the wonderful sea view, part of the western coast of Juminda Peninsula can be seen from the tower.

On the shore at stop 23 of the Tsitre trail of trees in Lahemaa, a metal tower stands where a Soviet border-guard lookout once watched the sea. It is about 650 metres from the start of the trail, or some 300 metres along the beach from the campsite car park. From the top you can watch waterbirds resting on Kolga bay and see part of the west coast of the Juminda peninsula. Nearby lie Muuksi hill fort, the Northern Star monument to Estonian-Finnish brotherhood in arms, and Hundikangrud, Estonia's largest group of Bronze Age stone-cist graves.
