Mystery or the unexplained
The tunnel from Paasvere chapel hill
Paasvere kabelimägi
A few hundred steps east of the Paasvere bus stop rises a tree-covered knoll, the chapel hill, crowned by the crumbled limestone walls of an octagonal chapel, once dedicated to St Lawrence. It was ruinous by 1690 and pulled down in 1776, when a mausoleum for the lords of Paasvere and Lõusa was built in its place; in the 1980s building work turned up many human bones at its edge, the remains of a village burial ground. Local tradition says a secret underground passage runs from the chapel hill to Margumägi, a couple of kilometres to the north-west.

Paasvere bussipeatusest paarsada sammu ida pool kõrgub puudega kaetud küngas – kabelimägi, mille tipus on lagunenud paekivimüürid kaheksanurksest kabelist, mis oli kunagi pühendatud Laurentsiusele. 1690. aastaks oli see varemeis ja 1776 lõhuti maha, et rajada selle asemele Paasvere ja Lõusa mõisnike mausoleum; 1980. aastatel tuli kabelimäe servalt ehitustöödel välja palju inimluid – küla rahva kalmistu jäänused. Rahvasuu teab rääkida, et kabelimäelt viib maa-alune käik paari kilomeetri kaugusel loodes asuvale Margumäele.
