Verijärve campfire site

Situated in a picturesque primeval valley on the shores of Lake Verijärve and surrounded by a Scots pine stand, the campfire site is popular with the people of Võru and the surrounding area thanks to its proximity to the city.

Verijärve campfire site lies on the shore of Lake Verijärv, just outside the town of Võru, about 2 km off the Võru–Luhamaa road. The lake fills the bottom of a primeval valley about 40 m deep, with steep slopes covered in Scots pine, and it is protected as the Verijärve landscape reserve. A 1 km marked trail with information boards leads from the site to the Verijärve recreation area, where a painter's stand is dedicated to Konrad Mägi, one of Estonia's greatest landscape painters. With room for eight tents, the site is a quiet base close to town.
