It was on an open field, next to an old hill-fort. It was possible to drive to 50m. A big animal bone was laying 20m from the point. So after visiting the point, I went to the hill-fort 350m away.. or actually to what's left from it - a 10m high hill. Considering the general flatness of Estonia, a nice view still opened from top of it, including the view to the dashpoint. Looks like it's a good place for sledging, because someone's sledges were laying on the ground there. But there wasn't enough snow for it this day. As it could have been expected, on the way back I was stopped on the road because of over-speeding. It was the "green patrol" this time, which means that they are actually not the police, but the border guard. Theoretically these guys should be spending their time on sea, seeking for these Russian submarines... But no-no, instead of that they are lurking on the road-side in their green van and measuring speed. Anyway, after checking the documents they let me go with no fee.

It was a nice winter day. Few degrees minus C, sunny and half-cloudy. It was possible to drive to 800m. From there I took a walk through the forest. There was snow on the ground and occasionally some water. The point was close to a power line, next to a big tree with lot of branches - probably an oak, but I'm not sure, because it had no leaves.
