Siimusti campfire site
Jõgeva County, Tartu-Jõgeva Recreation Area
Make a fire only in a place prepared and marked for it. The need for firewood in our campsites is very high during the summer, therefore firewood may be out. To avoid disappointment, please take firewood or barbecue coals with you when traveling by car. Do not leave a burning fire unattended! When using a charcoal grill, pour the coals on the fireplace, not under the forest. Extinguish the fire properly, when leaving.
The campfire site has been established as a rest stop on the hiking route and it is located in the varied Siimusti Kurista Landscape Protection Area. With its hiking and walking trails, the area is a favourite recreation place for local people.
