Harimägi and Harimäe Observation Tower

Harimägi is one of the largest mesas in the Otepää Uplands (211 m above sea level). It is worth coming to Harimäe whenever you are near Otepää.

The Harimäe Observation Tower is located 3 km from Kääriku in the direction of Sangaste. The observation tower and campfire site is closed for reconstruction works from September 2024 until the work is completed in spring 2025.

Good to know: Harimägi is also called ‘Leenard and Leonhard’s hill.’ From 1816 to 1819, geodetic surveys were carried out here by the internationally recognised astronomer and surveyor Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struwe (1793–1864).
