Roela Cone Hut Museum

Roela Cone Hut Museum is an exciting place to visit in the field of Estonian forestry history. From June to September, you can visit the nearly hundred-year-old cone dryer for free on weekends. The building, renovated by RMK in 2008, still has the original ovens and equipment, as well as a permanent exhibition that tells the story of pine cones collection, drying and the storage of forest tree seeds.
There is RMK information point, where you can get useful information about recreation opportunities and objects of interest in the state forest. For a larger group, please notify us of the visit in advance.
The cone hut is located at the edge of Mõdriku-Roela esker, which is the longest in Estonia. A part of Peraküla-Kauksi hiking route runs its course along the esker where there is the opportunity to see primeval pine and spruce forest and local culture heritage.
You can order the forest and heritage culture program for both students and adults https://www.loodusegakoos.ee/metsakool/16790 or get to know the beautiful nature of the esker yourself using the possibilities of the backpack program - trail sheets and guidance from the information point.
RMK Roela's cone dryer museum works in cooperation with Vinni municipality and the NGO Roela Kodukant. In the summer of 2024, the Kodukandi Vanaema Café will be open during the opening hours of the information point. For larger groups, please order in advance https://roela.ee/et
