It was possible to drive to 460m, wherefrom a small trail took me to the destination. The point was near an intersection of ditches and some wild strawberries were blooming around it. Afterwards I took a walk in the picturesque swamp and Piiumetsa landscape protection reserve nearby. I went swimming to a lake in the swamp. It's maybe 1.5m deep, but the bottom is so soft that it's not possible to stand in there, but only to swim or to hold from the shore. And the shore ain't made of soil, but of Sphagnum plants that have grown on top of each other over centuries and millenniums. The shore is actually floating on water and it's so soft and elastic, that all the small trees and bushes around you swing along if you jump on it. The lake gets deep instantly and as I checked, the shore is actually hollow from underneath. It's possible to get out only by using the strength of your arms to heave your body, until you get a knee on the edge. And you must be careful when standing up, because the shore is soft like cottonwool and bends backwards. As I wasn't careful enough, I lost my balance and splashed all the way back in, which was quite funny in fact.
